Bike: 2009 G8V
Mileage: 11,500 km (~7200 miles)
I thumbed the start button after the usual lights show subsided and it went dead silent. No relay clicking, no starter solenoid thumping and of course no starter motor spinning.
I knew it wasn’t Fuse B (Fuse blows out repeatedly – Griso 8V) as it always associates with a relay clicking or solenoid thumping before the fuse blew. Immediately, I gave the button a second try and the engine started instantly.
I rode to my mate’s place, switched off the engine and restarted it after one minute later, it was fine, it started at the first attempt. We rode to the other end of the island, when I tried to start the bike after a 15 minutes tea break, it took a second push of the start button to start the bike again, first push of the start button gave nothing but a silent response. I refueled the bike on the way back and it started fine with only one push of the start button at the gas station.
I rode the bike in heavy rain a day earlier, my suspect is the start button/switch got wet and the ECU didn’t get a clean grounding signal from the start button as I pressed it. As I do not have the opportunity to check the bike until the coming weekend, I thought I’ll post it here to gather more opinions and wisdoms on this matter.
Thank you in advance :mrgreen:
