Starter wont turn over

Still sounds like a fooked battery to me. Got a set of jump leads to see if it will start ?
Stupid question but the kill switch isn't on is it?
Neutral light on?
2000 miles on a 2008 that's only a about 450 miles a year..... Already over that on my October 2012 Speed Triple

 

If you have a couple of strong mates a bump start could work, at least you would see that the engine turns over ok. Be worth checking out the main fuse and starter solenoid, good luck hope you get it sorted.

 

The buzzing, does it sound like an electrical arcing sound? Could be the solenoid in the starter not kicking in, if the bike has stood for a while it could be slightly seized. if you can get to the starter give it a tap with something hard while holding the button, this usually kicks things back into life if it is.

Or as mentioned above the battery could be shot and it doesn't have the power to turn the engine over although holding some charge?

 

Goosed battery has my vote

 

NFG..battery..is my bet also...its now 5 years old and even though it been on an optimate it not been used...

 

hi mate tried shorting the solinold out to see if it will kick into action, or again slightly tap very gently to try and release it as it maybe sticky,try wd 40 it may help.

 

Glad it's sorted, now get some miles on that machine :upyeah:

 

You can order battery's online they come with a bottle of acid if you ever need it I've always found them cheaper than local bike shops too.

Glad you got it running!

 

For the price of a new batter it's not worth the hassle, you can guarantee one day it will let you down miles away from home!!
