KRAYNIAL My Rides (7) Posted March 27, 2010 i have a 2006 model and if i go to start the bike in the morning the relay just clicks, and the starter does not turn over. but if i go out riding for a half hour or so then stop, the starter works like a charm. what could this be? the battery is charged. thanks - loose connections at the battery - loose ground wire on starter - loose harness or corroded - auto decompresor out of adjustment - battery has a bad cell - Pull off the tank and seat and check everything. Battery should read 13.9 volts with the bike running if the cells are good. The X starter is NOT like a street bikes. It's just a convenience feature, and everyone has issues with it at one time or another. You need to keep your battery attached to a battery tender. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blue Hawaii Posted March 31, 2010 If it still has the original battery, then I'm going to say that you need to replace it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
