Right then..... I have a 1995 CBR600 F3 and when I bought it the starter sounded a bit loud but worked fine. I got it home and the next day it started fine. After a couple of days it wouldn't start at all. I can hear the solenoid doing its but and the starter seems to spin but it doesn't sound like it's turning the engine over. It sounds like a wearing noise rather than as it should sound. I bought a new starter and fitted it but this hasn't solved the problem. The battery is fine as I have tested it and the rectifier is also fine as that's been tested too. The bike will bump start also. I don't understand how the starter can sound like it's turning but not turning the engine. Does this make sense? Cheers

Have a look at this diagram of your starting clutch. If the starter is working but not turning the engine over, this clutch is not pushing the starter gear into the flywheel or the clutch is worn out and slipping, not turning the engine over.

I have an intermittent. my car does not start time to time. by pushing it the car start. it work fine for several day, and does it again . need help.

When it doesnt start, does it make a at least a clicking noise? Maybe a clunk? A loud clunk but the starter wont engage means the starter solenoids contact is bad. A click would indicate either a loose connection to the starter solenoid or a bad contact on the relay. No sound at all is a bit more complicated to trouble shoot.

Try having one person turn the key to the start position and hold it there, while someone else taps on the starter with a hammer. If tapping on it makes it work, you need a starter. Good luck. Hope this helps.

1995 Toyota Camry randomly won't start

Likely a bad starter relay or solenoid. Random stuff is just that...random...Once had a customer that had a stalling problem for 3mos. every time it was in the shop it worked fine (I even took it home for a weekend). Finally found prob by accident while just standing in front of it talking to a tech one day...Just noticed that a wiring harness end did not look "just right" Fixed that one for free!!! PS: are the battery connections at the block and starter clean and secure? Biggest problem with random stuff is that when it's working, it passes all testing! Good luck

Restoring honda cbr no power

Check your fuse box first if ok then take the ground cable wire off from the frame opposite from the battery neg and wire brush it , clean it (metal shine) so it will make a good contact to the frame, next try checking both cables for acid corrosion at the ends under the protective coating, if you still have a dead bike then check or replace the starter solinoid, as it's positive side may be shorted out due to overheated contacts.
