Problem starting 1200 bandit - making clicking sound. HELP!

 

id say starter either sticking, or battery on its way out. dont rule out possible reg/rec fail

 

I think there must be some problem related to start plug.Take the plug and clean it by giving high pressure from your mouth.

 

Well i wonder that could be the starter problem. check the battery and also the start plug.

Cheap Couches

 

I have the same problem, just happily clicks away! Will look at the starter plug first (if I can find it). BTW, what's a reg/rec? Good luck, post what you did once you've fixed yours! Also, I have an S40 Boulavard which has 2 mystery hoses attached to the carb. For the life of me I can't find a single place that they should be attached to. They both run up toward the fuel tank (at least that's where I found em). Is this normal??? I've got the other 2 attached correctly but I don't want to waste time on a phantom problem.

 

im no mechanic, but its possible someone removed the calif. emissions canister.

 

I also have a S40 Boulevard it is a 2005 I don't anything about two hoses coming from the card but When I went to take it out for the first time, it started just fine but after about three minutes it sputtered out I couldn't get it started back up. any suggestions on what this might be???
