Been in the MOA for almost 30 years and this is my first post on the MOA forums, although I read them daily.
I have a 1975 R75/6 that I bought new in 1975. It's always worked flawlessly - always. Today I tried to start it and nothing. Last ridden exactly a week ago - started right up. Battery is fully charged and always stays on a Battery Tender. Today when I pressed the starter - nothing. Instrument lights - neutral, brake, and alternator all glowing brightly. Starter didn't even try to engage - nothing. All switches normal. Clutch in or out doesn't matter.
Anyone got any ideas where I should start looking for a cause? Starter button? Starter? Corrosion somewhere?
Thanks in advance for any help.
