Hi All,
My K7 has had a bit of a problem starting for a while. Plenty of juice in the battery but the starter button itself did not seem to be contacting properly. If I gave it a spray with some CRC and gave it a couple of minutes it was fine. So it would seem to be either a build up of oxidation or crap on the contact or the contact has burnt out!!! WTF. Has anyone else come across this problem. Can you replace just the starter switch or do you have to do the whole throttle assembly which would be a very Suzuki approach ( I love the bikes but jeez they're mercenary bastards sometimes!!). Any help much appreciated.
Cheers
Richard

It's a week by week charade.
