2009 Triumph Speed Triple 1050 Starting Problem

dont know your bike - but I would check wiring from starter button to relay and from relay to solenoid.(perhaps partly broken wire or bad connection,
as you say solenoid changed and tested ok.
ps
You can still get a connection through a partly broken or rusted wire or bad connection but as soon as it takes a load upon it - it fails.

 

You might find this useful

 

Sorry linked the wrong thread, will try and find the right one

 

Here it is

 

I had a similar issue on my 2010 Sprint, just a faint click from the starter relay. It was the relay that was faulty. In the two years I had it, it was replaced twice under warranty. When it won't start try tapping it gently as you hold in the start button, that worked for me until it was replaced. You can open up the relay by prizing off the cover. The contacts can the be cleaned with 1200 wet and dry and contact cleaner.

Spot on Banksy its good when members get back to the forum with an outcome of previous problems
That's a lesson for Wayne, we had to beg him for an update

 

Glad you managed to get it sorted without to much hassle.

 

Re: 1050 triple starting trouble.
I just returned from Assen on speed-triple 1050R and upon arrival at Le Shuttle the bike failed to churn/start properly after check-in. Checked battery terminals were well connected, and took a jump start from staff on site to get going, but the bike wouldn't self start. After 30 minutes cool-down however everything back to normal. This is the THIRD triple 1050 I have known to have this sort of starter trouble, two of mine and one my brother's. (the others were both STSprints). It seems long runs and hot engines deter the starter's willingness. Any other similar experiences out there? we guessed that possibly the starter demands too much charge from the battery when very hot ? should I replace battery and starter motor to avoid potential future problems ? Or just wait for cool-down and accept the problem ?

 

Hi if I was you I would start a thread, youll get more views and possible answers this thread is almost done and so some wont check back in.
If you can , take battery voltages when running and when off also did it prime the fuel pump, make any noise atall the more detail the more these guys can help.

 

Thanks. I will try to do so but new to the forum, feeling my way. More concerned right now about how to delete the pirate toolbar that unavoidably invaded me when signing up!

 

First I have heard of toolbar issues!

 

Glad you are sorted banksy...less time fettling the bike leaves more time for graffiti art.

Welcome to the forum.
