Non Starting Street Twin

Good evening everyone I have a 2018 street twin which has developed a starting issue. I can through the start up process and nine times out of ten it will start first time. But every now and then I try to start the bike goes through the process and nothing not a click or flickered a couple of times then will get a click or two then it normally starts. But tonight went through the process nothing tried again nothing switch off try again then clicks but every time I try and start it I press the starter and every time I press the starter it goes through the process again with the fuel pump making a noise the Speedo doing its thing but won’t start after about five attempts it finally started. I’m thinking the battery is on its way out .or a loose connection somewhere? Many thanks for any help.

 

Many thanks for the quick reply. The bike is used every day but will check the connections.

 

So managed to get the bike into my local triumph dealer at short notice. They thought it was the battery to but turns out could be a starter issue. Called me today could also be due to a lot of corrosion with the electrical connections. What they call a lot of corrosion I don’t know ? But it is concerning on a bike that’s only a year and a bit old that’s always cleaned and dried and covered in acf50.

 

Another update there now keeping hold of my bike as they think there could be a problem with the clutch basket. And as it’s still under warranty they want to keep hold of it and investigate further. With this and the attitude I got from the sales team on Saturday now really put off buying another triumph do they not make bikes to ride all year around and not be a garage ornament?

 

Very true in what you are saying about the corrosion but have never suffered with any other bike before just a bit annoyed I didn’t see it . Plus I agree about them keeping the bike which down the line could possibly cost a lot of money so am glad there switched on there.

 

Many thanks for the reply
