Super Tenere refusal to start
My brother owns 2015 Super Tenere and has had a recurring problem of the bike refusing to start when there are no good reasons why that should be so .
Twice it happened and the bile was hauled to the dealer where it was got going again the first time but they did not explain ( or know ) what was wrong other than suggesting the battery was getting old and they replaced it . Bunk the first battery had enough juice , but okay , almost two years old .
Second time was later with the new battery . Many attempts to start it , recharged the battery, ,used boost cycle on charger while cranking .No go . Hauled to dealer , and itstarted when they cranked it with the starter .
The other day he started the bike and moved it out of the shed and shut it before getting suited up for a ride a half hour later. THEN it refused to start . Many attempts and two days later it still refuses .
Seeking info on the internet I find some advice , but nothing that was of much help .
- It was suggested by one source that shutting the bike off after a very short time does not bring engine temperature up to a level needed for the bikes computer memory to be able to figure out what is needed.
When cranking over the engine it makes some sounds as if it might be willing to start, the right side exhaust pipe does warm up , not the left side, it will simply not " catch " and start up.
It looks like this is a known , not a rare ,problem .
If A bike is in good tune and operating normally , and starts normally , what is the excuse for such a problem ?
I suspect it has something to do with the fuel injection computer brain being
somehow scrambled in its thinking , It seems to be not sending a spark signal or adding fuel for some reason.
Could they reprogram its chip/
Any advice ??
