I've changed the battery a couple of times on my 2004 FZ6. It's run fine every day for the last 3 months since I last renewed the battery. The battery is good but I haven't checked the connections yet.
But 4 times in the last 2 weeks, after a short run, the bike wont start. I hear the clicking noise like when the battery is flat (which it isn't). . I notve the red engine light is on - that's the red one above the green neutral light. The chattering sounds as I try to start the engine. So I leave it for a minute, maybe rock the bike from side to side - or just wait - then the bike starts fine.
My questions:

I'm not expecting a 100% answer, just a few tips, please.

My questions:

- should a fault code show on the speedo / LCD unit
- shall I just replace the Starter Solenoid Relay to eliminate that and check all connections at the same time
- or is it likely to be a physical problem with the starter motor - say worn brushes, commutator or worn teeth ?
