Hello,
The 750, on occasions, has had trouble starting. Not having trouble firing-up but actually turning the motor over with the starter. I hear a clicking noise but nothing else. To get things working again I would turn the ignition off and back on again and try starting again.
At first I thought it was me not waiting for the Engine computer to complete its self-test cycle. I now wait for the gauges to swing off scale and back, and for the EFI light to go out. The problem still presents itself and I started thinking it could be linked to the Stand Switch, but before I got to check this theory, I started thinking its more serious and could be related to the starter motor of starter solenoid. On the way home from work today, I stopped at the shops and once again had trouble starting the engine. Instead of my normal techniques. I repeatedly hit the starter button, after the third attempt, the engine turned over and fired up. I should point out that the battery is good and turns the engine over without any problems ...... when the starter does it's job ....
So what do the gurus think? Is there an area that I have missed or does my theory on the starter motor have merit? I will be calling the dealer as I've only had it for a few weeks and I think they "should" cover this under warranty.
Cheers
