- update :
- all the suggestions above (cleaning solenoid contacts, direct wire , etc) improved the "click" situation , but then everything went back to its old ways.
- so , solved the entire problem by buying and installing this cheap solution (push button solenoid cover) :
- problem resolved. Starter kicks like hell how.

If that is what fixed your problem then I would rewire the relay.
I pout one of those on my bike then I found the rewired relay cure and haven't had to use the pushbutton since.

- hi THC,
- I did re-wire the relay , but still got the hesitation (ie , click or sometimes even no click at all). There was alot of pitting on the solenoid's contacts and Perhaps the plunger is not being driven in strongly enough to properly close the starting circuit.
- anyhow , my main objective is a reliable bike on the road. Without any need to worry when shutting the engine down for gas in the middle of nowhere.
- anything unreliable gets old real quick
- thanks again.

I'm glad you got her running right but I'm still trying to figure out the root problem. (For my own edification.)
From what you told me your bike should be starting fine without the pushbutton.
To me it is an interesting quandary.
