Intermittent starting

In the past few months my Honda would refuse to start , but not at every attempt. I would think it needed a charge and found out that did not help.

At times, just leaving it sit and attempting to start it, would be successful. It seems like the side stand has a lot to do with it.

I put a new battery in it and that did not solve a thing. Like I said, sometimes it will start and most times it will not. When I say it will not start, I mean that I do not even get a clicking noise at all,...nothing, no sound.

I hesitate using it when it does start and later miles from home I have the same problem. Any ideas?

First thing you should try is going Introductions and introduce yourself. Here is the link. https://www.silverwing600.com/f1-introductions

Either you're trolling or you just solved your own problem.

Either your kill switch needs some contact cleaner or your push button.....oh and don't forget your introduction

Jack Pearson,

Welcome to the forum, but you really should introduce yourself - just good form.

You do know that your bike will not start when the side stand is down don't you? There is a lockout switch that prevents the bike from starting when the side stand is down.

Kill switch is a commonly overlooked problem. Can inadvertently be set to the no-run position and not noticed.

The start button may need to be cleaned. Don't know the age of your bike so not cetain about this.

The owner's manual has a short section in the back on trouble shooting...
