THUNK!

Comfy Old Boots said:

The bike is acting funny. All of a sudden (well for a week now), when I hit the starter button (with the fast idle thingy engaged) the bike goes THUNK! and dosn't start. I hit it again and it's firing perfectly. I'm sure its a silly electrical dodah that's on it's way out but then I find bmr's do that to me. Somethings needs attention and €€ signs start disturbing my sleep

Any experience of this THUNK welcome! I don't expect it's the battery, as the bike's ridden for twenty miles every day at least and I like to keep the revs up I'm going up to the nice people in joe duffy about something else next week and wouldn't mind a friendly heads up on that the THUNK is going on

It sounds like your starter could be the culprit Owen. A good clean up might well solve your problem. MikeP posted an excellent step-by-step thread here on how to do it. Certainly worth a try and an hour of your time.
