Last week, after about a 20 mile ride, when I went to start my '83 R65, I could hear the relay click under the seat, but nothing from the starter. After hitting the starter button 4-5 times, it kicked in and fired right up. This morning, same thing; it required 4-5 hits of the starter button to get the starter to engage and start the engine. The starter relay is less than a year old and the right combination switch is a 6 month old OEM BMW. I assume it's the solenoid but want to hear what your ideas and experiences are. Thanks in advance - Larry
