Dead Kat Click…….
Posted: Wed Jul 31, 2024 8:44 pm
While doing my pre-trip for EK XI checks (oil, tyre pressures etc,)
I put the Kat onto charge on my trusty Optimate. This gave some odd indications that I tracked down to the old style charger connector.
Went to fire it up and all I got was a very strong “CLICK” from the starter solenoid!
Charged the battery fully, but still the Dead Kat Click…
How much is it of a PITA to change the starter motor out with the carbs in place?
Or should I just consign myself to the naughty corner with the Speed Trip, and deal with the naughty Kat on my return?
