buzzing while starting.

Post by jim17 »

AFTER FULLY CHARGING THE BATTERY, AND RE ATTACHING, AS SOON AS i TURN THE KEY I GET A LOUD BUZZING NOISE. IS THIS THE FUEL PUMP, OR FUEL PUMP RELAY? ANY IDEAS? iT CONTINUES WHEN i PRESS THE STARTER.

Would it not make sense to take the seat and side panels off and have a good look and listen ?

Clicking sounds when trying to start is normally the starter soleniod...............normally flat battery

Buzzing could be fuel pump maybe even fuel pump relay or even indicator relay

Is it a race bike with a modified loom ?

Does the starter motor even turn over when you hit the button

We need more information to make even a half baked guess

Oh and it still could be a battery problem manys the battery have appeared fully charged when they are acutally toast and only fit for the scrap man

starter turns no bother, (no start though,) more worries about the buzzing. Dosn't sound like starter solenoid or a relay, more of a faster buz than a click, removal of panels seems to be next step!
