Kawasaki stockman kl250 motorbike; electric start only. had intermittant starting issues. would start ok some days & would not start other days. can be push started ok. when ignition on & neutral light shows; both stands up; starter makes click noise or no noise at all. battery checked full charge. by pushing bike back or forwards i gear, issue sometimes resolves itself & starts ok. at present everything fails. perhaps starter motor or solenoid problem? will new brushes rectify this??

Based on your description, its sounds as though you have a starter or starter selnoid problem. The starter selnoid is not engaging the engine at first and then when it does, is nort passing enough current through to the starter motor to get the job done.

Try to jump start the bike, 2nd gear down hill key on and let the clutch out... If it starts you have a starter problem, could be the brushes.. good luck...

sorry to say it but the battery cannot handle the load, it may work with small things like lights and low amperage devices. but when you crank the starter motor your pulling far to many amps and the battery cannot put out meaning that the battery has a bad cell or it may just need a battery refill, today we just replace the batteries. it;s safer and a lot easier. plus you get money back for bringing in your old one. but the battery is not able to supply the proper voltage and amps anymore and should be replaced. a very simple test turn the key to run and turn your headlights on. then press the starter button see if the lights do not completely go out. if they do you have a dead battery cell. good luck with it, and thanks for using fixya

Sounds like the starter silanoid went bad. Take a screw driver and find the starter silanoid witch is uselly by the battery. It has the + cable coming from the battery to it and is bolted to it and then the other bolt has a cable going to the starter. Take the screw driver and touch the 2 bolts at the same time and the starter should turn the motor over. Make shure the bike is not in gear before you do this. Good Luck

start relay should be checked, if cables are loose or corroded they do not deliver enough power.if jumping the start relay will engage the starter replace the relay.
