It could also be the kill button,ignition switch or stand/neutral switch& relay on a 2003 but if you hear the pump prime they likely are ok
But it's most likely as Docc says
The two bullet connectors and the clutch interlock switch are in series with the start button and Start Relay, listen for a faint click.
thanks KR , you can hear the pump everytime . . . . good stuff , did I mention that I hate electrical stuff !?!?

excellent Docc, thank for the pics .those are very helpful as I despise electrical issues . will check those for sure .
I kind of thought the issue was with the kill button at one point because it seemed like I could cycle it a few times and the starter button would come back to life . Not so much yesterday though.

Park at the top of a hill
that works !
... ck'n connections now

Seems this is pretty common on these bikes , but when I say intermittent starting I mean that sometimes when I hit the starter button then engine spins normally and sometimes I get absolutely nothing . I thought my switch was dirty but I took it apart and cleaned it and it's still the same .
What should I do at this point ?
-
Ride height adjustment too . Thanks for the pics SwooshDave .

My strange brain likes puzzles like that.
Did the frame start life as an OE frame?
I vote custom frame.

I'd stay away from 3 day weekends. How about 12 May? 19th?
Thursday night - Sunday morning. Seville Hotel?
I think either one of those dates should be fine .
-
sometime around Memorial Day weekend ? ... 1st weekend in June ? maybe a little earlier ?
-
those are Chase Harper and I think they're called "Stealth " . I've had them for over 20 years .

that photo was taken due east of Jasper . I rode 300 miles Sunday east of Jasper and it's all good stuff .

I got in some riding this weekend east of Hwy 7 and there's plenty of great riding just waiting out there .

Time for a proper introduction I suppose , but wanted to first say that I really enjoy the forum and that I love these bikes . I started riding back in 1971 and my first bike was a Honda SL70 . I've had too many bikes to mention and the majority of my riding has been off road hare scrambles and enduros and I'm still riding off road but not competitively anymore . The Italian road bikes caught my eye ( go figure ) in the '80s and I lusted for a Ducati 600SL but the Ducs were rare and really out of my reach . So, I began looking at BMWs but never bought one . Then, in 1992 while looking through " Bike Trader " I spotted a 1981 cx100 Lemans . So, I took a little road trip and ended up bringing that bike home . After 25 years of riding it and improving the suspension and jetting , I still love it . Ever since the V11 Sports were first released I've wanted one . I had never ridden one until two weeks ago and ended up bringing that bike home too . It's an '03 Sport Naked and so far I'm loving it .

After looking at tire/damper/bearings per above, take a look at your suspension. Start with the position of the forks - are they in the original spot, or are they sticking up out of the triple-clamps too much? Then measure sag to see if you need different springs.
Agreed , and the 40mm Marzocchi forks are terribly soft if that's what your bike has . Check the external settings on those.
-
What model is the bike ? Are the tires in good shape ? Check the profile of the tires and see if they are worn flat in the middle .
-
I'd like to have the thingy that bolts onto the kickstand that makes the stand easier to reach .

Hey, you get that from a shop in Leland MS? I was watching that for awhile! Glad you got it. It looks great. Welcome to the forum.
Yes I did , thank you . I'd wanted one since they were first released and this is the first one I've ever ridden . It needs tires but seems perfect otherwise . 13k miles ! I'm pleased .

the rumor I saw was some sort of cooling system for the heads , similar I suppose to the BMW twins . Saw that this morning
. It was a 900cc with development capability up to 1200cc or so they say . who knows ?
