- Check the starter relay/solenoid. My 750 had these symtoms for a while.
- It would randomly do nothing when the starter button was pressed. Several
- stabs at the button and it would start as if nothing was wrong.
-
- The relay wasn't really meant to be serviced. I pried it open anyway.
- Just far enough to squirt in some 3M miracle oil. Put the thingie back
- together and it hasn't acted up since. Of course, I haven't ridden my
- motorcycle since then either. :-(
-
- Send me some mail in a month or two when it's back on the road. I hope to
- get her in running order by April at the latest.

- We don't stop riding because we get old, we stop riding because the roads
- have been covered with six inches of solid ice.
