Thank you YoungR1 & AdamR1,

I will keep an eye out for the bits required by the mechanics and will contact you.

Adam, mechanic seems to think its starter motor, solenoid is working fine he says but will be taking out the starter motor to check if any malfunction.

I will feed to him what you mentioned about being crankshaft position sensor!!

Thank you and God bless us all bikers.

Glad luck with it mate, hope you get if fixed soon while we still have the good weather

Morning guys,

It turned out to be burnt starter motor

Quality of Yamaha!!!

I just don't understand, back in time I used to think it's only french machines pack up (no offense)....

Japanese engineering...

Bike has only done 12k miles.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks in advance.

At least its sorted now bud

Not a common problem for that mileage - just bum luck!

Good to have it solved eh

could depend on how & where it's been stored & how it's been used in the past

Yes jompy,

I guess you are right. I have kept it stored for almost year or year n half....

But then again, found one for £25.00 plus delivery and getting it by end month. Blackdog Motorcycles being very cooperative and keeping it till I give them part and without any storage costs.

So all in all, it worked out not as bad as I thought!

cracking price that buddy
