636 starting problem
on my 03...was down for 2 weeks just went to start it and battery turns fuel pump on and when i hit the start button it m,akes a loud clucnking noise from under the seat...and seems to cut the power from the battery...wat is it? maybe a realay or summin?? i've had 636 for 5 years and never had this happen
btw i changed the stator cover over to a nrc thats what it was down....dont think it could have anything to do with it but jsut htrowing it out tehre

Re: 636 starting problem
HA Ha funny. I was gonna say its the nrc cover isn't machined enough on the inside. I had this happen twice. The surface which mates up against the starter intermediate gear dowel pin washer sometimes needs to be grinded just a little.
It puts to much pressure on the washer not allowing the starter to turn the gear. It gave me the same symptom as you just one click and thats it. I figured it out after taking the cover on and off like 10 times.
Glad it was just a battery

Re: 636 starting problem
are u charging your batteries correct homie? a good one with a proper trickle charge should last 2 YEARS (without battery tender not being ridden all winter). w a tender used in the off season ive seen them last 3-5 years. part dept experience.
where/who ever u buy the batts from.. make sure they fill and charge right after. if they fill...let sit... then charge or dont fully charge the battery on the first charge it will alwyas be a garbage battery, best thing todo is fill and charge yourself to know its done right.
should be a yuasa rtx9-bs too. still need a clutch cover. found one here in my garage yesterday.
