Hi. I have had my 09 700 since new and never a problem with starting. The other day I went for a short ride and then shut down the engine. Went to start it a few minutes later and the engine would not turn over at all. Just a click from the relay. The starter did not make any sound at all. It felt as if the engine or starter was stuck somehow. I kept trying over and over but the same thing, wouldn’t turn over.

I know for sure the battery is fine. I checked the battery wires and they were pretty hot after trying to start the engine so many times.

Anyway, I towed the bike in gear a little and I think it must have turned the engine just that little bit to get it over a "tight spot". It then started when I tried again and has started fine since.

Would anyone know the cause of the engine or starter getting stuck like this and how do I stop it happening again?

Thanks..
