Morala:
cheers lads a new solenoid it is then

Sesman:
Are you sure you can’t fix the existing one? They come apart really easily. The problem is probably the copper contact bar in the solenoid, which is readily accessible and easily cleaned up. Assuming of course it’s an original relay/solenoid.

Morala:
just an update on the solenoid problem, when i started to remove the solenoid i found one of the contact securing nuts was very loose could this be the problem, i have only got the bike so still learning the ins and outs of it cheers.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I doubt it, if as you have stated the starter continued to crank over with the ignition off until the battery had run down, that could not be caused by a loose terminal.

Morala:
no problem, will replace solenoid and again thanks for all the advice
