brakes and starter (Read 4 times)

splash07 Serious Thumper Offline Posts: 911 Charleston, SC Gender:	brakes and starter 03/09/07 at 08:25:37 I have 2 questions, first is why my brakes sqweel even after replacing them and second, sometimes after a short ride when i turn the bike off then come back to it like an hour later the starter button doesnt do a thing. I turn the key to on and push the starter and nothing. After trying for at least 10 min it will finally turn over, why is this?

on the brakes a bit of antisqueal grease on the back on the pads helps some as does using some fine grit sand paper on the rotor like 400 or 600 and just go around the rotor a few times (front brake I assumed)

the nothing on the start button might be a little tougher - first is the battery good and the cables clean and tight - as in no doubt about it - after the bike has sat overnight without a charger on it measure the volts - should be at least > 12.5 hopefully higher 12.8 is real fine

on the nothing - do you hear any clicks at all or just a plan dead start button?

Also it is not just the front brake that is noisy, the rear drum is way worse in fact.

Seems if i put the bike in gear (1st or 2nd)then roll the bike a little and let out the clutch it turns over the engine a little and then when i try and start it works fine. Does this mean that my starter is bad? or going bad?

Why don't you "jump" or bypass the clutch switch and see what will be the reasult?
