Hi all , put a new starter motor in and engine wont turn over. I took it out and tried it outside the bike and it spins round like a dream but put it back in the bike and no go any ideas anyone,cheers

Hi verslagen, its had a new alternator but I rode it after that with a bump start ( so even then it wouldn't start off the button but I thought the battery had flattened a bit cos it had been stored for a month )  but after about 10 miles it stopped and I had to get the recovery guys out, then I took the switch gear off and the starter button wire had come loose so I soldered that but it still wont start from the starter. There's more than one problem the other being electrical somewhere ( it really needs a new wiring harness ) which I am in the process of looking at but the starter motor problem is there when I am using a known fully charged  battery

Hi, I'm pretty sure the washers were where they were supposed to be but thats going to be the next port of call. We were getting the clicks one for the decomp and then the one for the starter. Theres no safety on the stand or the clutch trans was in neutral and we did jump straight to the starter motor a lot of sparks but still nothing . It does look like something is stopping the starter from starting the motor so the next job is removing the casing again and checking we haven't left a spanner in there  , cheers will get back in touch when the mechanicals have been checked
