Hello guys,
My Kawasaki GPZ 500S 1997 now refuses to start normally with the start button.
When I press it nothing happens besides a "clicking" sound that seems to come from somewhere under the saddle, around the battery.
Here is a video of the problem:
Does anybody knows what is this issue?
What is this thing that is clicking down there?
Why isn't the bike even trying to start like it should?
The battery is most likely fine, it was changed not so long ago.
I can turn on the headlights, high beams, blinkers, rear light and brake light as well and they show no sign of lack of electricity.
Before not working completely like now I noticed that giving a little bit of momentum (just one step forward) and putting it on first or second gear "unlocked" it and I could then start it with the start button, but now that little trick doesn't work anymore.
It felt like there was something "gripped" that needed to be unlocked before using the ignition.
Thank you for your help guys, hopefully this can be easily fixed.
Thank to this issue I am now a master at push starting the bike
Have a good ride.
