Just while i remember, and while the bike is in bits and easy to get to...

Its an NC29 :)

I have noticed that when i start the bike every now and then when i press the starter button i sometimes get a loud "click"

The batteries fairly new and sits on a trickle charger so its as good as its going to be so the voltage etc shouldnt be a problem so what i was thinking is that it may be the starter motor?

Anyone else had this problem and if so how did you get round it?

Cheers

Well almost certain the click is just the starter solenoid opening, maybe yours is just a bit old therefore a bit louder, does it delay the starter from cranking the engine over at all?

damn i forgot that bit.. haha

When it clicks, the engine doesnt turn over, as if the starter is sticking/not turning but the solenoid is coming out

Your starter motor brush carbon worn out mate. get it replace...

change the brushes or the starter itself?

Wheres the best bit to get replacement parts?

just the brushes only...no need for the whole starter motor.

Superb, cheers bud. i'll get the brushes out today when i'm in the workshop fitting the new brake hoses :)
