- April 16, 2013, 10:29:39 AMLast year I posted about my bike not starting when it was cold. Everyone including myself thought it was the battery. I held out and waited till this spring to purchase the battery. All summer and fall I rode without issues. This spring I started with the starting issues. I went and purchased a 20BS gel battery and I thought all was well until this morning. It wouldn't start again..... I heard a sound like the starter spinning but not engaging the flywheel. This is the same sound as last year so I know it has nothing to do with the battery. My question now is should I be looking at the started or the solenoid? Has anyone else has this type of problem. If I try it a few time the bike will usually start. My wife is getting very cranky about putting money into it... I also need tires and brakes this year.....
