Title: Rattle on startup
Post by: selecw on June 05, 2014, 02:58:07 PM
When I press the starter after the bike has been standing for a while there is a rattle. It stops as soon as the engine is running.

If I turn the bike off and start it again, there is no rattle.

What is it? I thought maybe insufficient battery power to turn the starter.
