STARTER MOTOR TURNING OVER SLOW

[blob748]

I just rebuilt a storm due to being seized, one of the clutch spring bolt had come undune and gone into the inside of the clutch cover smashing the silver bit inside the cover, one big bit of metal getting suck in the oil pump hence seized, the bike had been sitting around for about a year, i do not know how it run before, since the rebuild when i you try to start the bike it turn over very slow just like when it has a flat battery. i have changed the battery, checked battery cables, Change the starter motor and cable, I am starting it with a power pack but even then it still very slow, it runs ok when started ticking over, i have not rode the bike yet.

have you checked that the reg/rec is working properly?

The reg on tick over is 1390v at 5,000 revs 1353 with no lights, but i just noticed when i reved to 5,000 it the speedo needle rose to 40mph.

Really make sure the cable connecting to the starter motor is clean. I had the same issue, removed & gave it a good filing & all was sweet again.

yes, that was the first place i went, i replaced it and it was still doing it, so i replaced the starter motor as well. lucky i have alot of spares thanks for the reply.

Try running a jump lead from the earth on the battery straight to the engine

so straight from the neutral terminal to the engine, would that by pass the bad earth?

Yep,just make sure you've got a good contact then try and start it, if its ok you've got a bad earth. If not, well,we'll cross that bridge when we come to it
