Hello and help needed

[Trig]

I have only just joined this forum but had my 1050 since 07 so hello All.
Now to the help needed, if my bike doesn't start first time she sometimes doesn't start at all, it looks like the clutch micro switch is at fault; I pull the clutch lever in press the starter and she starts, but there are times when she doesn't start she spins up but cuts out, if I press the starter again nothing happens, but if I hold in the starter and release the clutch lever a little she will spin up but doesn't always start, if she hasn't started by the 3rd or 4th try the battery is dead, any clues or advice please.

Get a better battery, and dose the switch with WD40

Agree, if you're still on the original battery it's time for a new one and ACF50 works well long term, doesn't dry out like WD40 but costs a lot more.

And welcome to the forum.
