| Ok my Sprint is not firing up. When I try and start it it makes a sound like an asthmatic ant. Whilst it was not in use for a few weeks, whilst my job status was in doubt, the battery was on charge during the whole time. I have sprayed everything electrical that is immediately accessable. with WD40. Any ideas.

| | Agree with the post above... My street triple died the other week, it was just going "click" when i fired up the ignition, but I just couldnt get it bumped too.... probably because I'd never done it before and was trying to learn to do it too! When i spoke to triumph last week they said that because the batteries are so small at the minute, they don't deal with the cold/damp very well

| It seems a bit odd as my battery in the Sprint is about twice the size of the one on my 675 and that starts fine, even with an alarm on it, but will give it a try. Don't much fancy bumping a big heavy lump like a Sprint, and we have a shortage of hills round here . Thanks for all the advice.

| | Check your battery connections are nice a tight! I've had them work loose after using an optimate... I've got a Sprint RS, so have a slight clue on this one. Also check the fuses and relays are okay and seated firmly. Also check your kill switch.... |

| Kill switch was first thing I checked.., not getting caught out by that one again.
