08-01-2012, 01:22 PMI seem to be having a few slight problems with the electric start on my bike (Superbyke SBS 125).
It just seems to be clicking and making a weird grinding noise.
It started fine with the choke turned on, then I turned it off, tried starting the bike again, and it wouldn't start.
Seems weird, fuel is on, there's plenty of fuel in the tank, the battery is barely a week old. Kick start worked fine but I'd like to get the electric start to work again - properly.
If anyone knows any way of solving this, easily, that'd be appreciated.

The past few days I have came in off my bike, turned the ignition off and left the light switch in the ON position. This wouldn't run the battery right? Surely because the ignition is off it wouldn't? Just wondered if this could be related to the problem.

08-03-2012, 09:43 AMThis morning I have taken the side cover off to check the battery. The battery itself is fine, but I noticed a few sparks flying out from underneath the seat, behind the battery. Rather worrying.
Does this spark any other thoughts?

08-03-2012, 12:45 PMI will try and get the seat off over the weekend to take a look under and see what could be causing it.
This could also be the cause of my electric start playing up too.
Thanks for your suggestions guys!
