I own a 2001 ds and there are times the starter starts with no probs then after I ride it for a while and turn it off the next time it won't start there's no click or nothing if I let it sit awhile it will start or I can push it and start. has anyone else had this prob?

 

my bike has done this a few times.i think its in the push button.its like you forgot to turn the key on but i keep hitting the button and then it fires right up.just a bad connection sometimes i guess.

 

Had a Yamaha Timberwolf do that once, it was a corroded battery connection. The connection looked fine, but it never did it again after a cleaning. ....start with the simple stuff.

 

Well my husband and brother-in-law went out today and was messing around and found that down behind the battery there is what looks like a old fuse connector but isn't there are 3 wires and one of the wires that came loose. So my husband got the pliers and it runs great now no probs idling etc.

thanks for your input.Text
