Well, after having my bike for a week I get my first problem, it starts, but doesn't quit trying to start. First I figured it was the ignition button was stuck, so I took it apart and find a freaking spriders nest in there, clean that out and hook up the battery again. No luck. Call a mechanic friend and he tells me to check the conlenoid (if im spelling that right) and after an hour of taking the seat and tank off and all kinds of other stuff, I find it, give it a tap and hook the battery up, and all is fine. So he recomends that I get a new one instead of putting the old one back one, that if it gets stuck again while im riding it could tear up my starter.

Anyway, the reason I am writing this is that I tried all the bike shops in my city (all honda/kawi shops) auto parts places and even a lawnmower place and cant find a replacement.
Would a suzuki place have one, or is this gonna be something really hard to find? or am I going to need to specially fit a replcement (guy at Autozone found something I could use but it is bigger, doesnt really fit liek it should, but it should work.)

????


thanx guys
