Mouse in the house!
Probably not the manliest reaction to a mouse in the house, but I did find it amusing so I figured I would share with everyone. =)

Bridging the solenoid kicks a little
Переглядів 1,3 тис.11 років тому
Figured I would try to show you what its doing at the solenoid while the start button isnt working. I have guesses of what I would need to do but not positive.

The video stopped due to my phones storage maxing out. But I believe I covered most everything. I deleted some stuff to make room so I can make more videos if needed. Thank you for checking this out.
Pull in the clutch
I know exactly what’s wrong with your bike. Text me if you need help
I have the same issue, whats the fix?
Can u just reply the answer??
What’s wrong with it
Use the clutch when starting
Check on the left handle where the clutch lever is that's going to be your sensor that could cause the problem
Get a jumper lead from a parts store. (People use screwdrivers, but it's not as safe). A lead will have a button on it to make things easier and safer. Clip the hot lead to the hot on the silenoid, negative to negative. In doing so, you're basically bypassing the silenoid & connecting the starter motor directly to the battery. (That's why it's best to have a jumper lead with a button). Key on, press the button. If the motor starts, your silenoid is probably bad.
I also think the battery was the issue. Motorcycles are very picky about having a good battery.
I believe I ended up replacing the starter solenoid and it didn't do anything so I put the old one back on and for some reason it started.
hey man , i have the same problem. did you ever get that fixed? if so what was the issue?
kickstand.. **
it won't start with the kick start down. Atleast mine doesn't lol
Its the little switch under the clutch lever with the two prongs. You have to squeeze the Clutch before you start it. Its a safety switch.
Thank you!!! Haha. I tore my bike apart and forgot about those two prongs. You're a life saver.

If it was the switch would your bike still. Be able to change gears bc I have to bump start it and it runs but it makes no sound when I try to turn It over it's just silent
Had cold starting issues myself. Replaced starter, starter relay, and battery one at a time and still in the morning starter clicks. after a while of switching on and off, it evertually turns over. Anyone have a clue whats going on.
Sorry for the late response but it ended up being the starter... Posted this a while ago. Seems so silly i didn't try whacking the starter before posting the video. But now you guys will know 1 of the many symptoms.
So how’d you fix it
Do you know how many turn out the pilot air screw mixture ?
1. Bridge the starter relay with a screwdriver (safely, sparks will fly) to see if the starter works. If it does, you have a wiring problem 2. Check clutch safety switch. Try to start with clutch pulled. There are ways to bypass it 3. Check kickstand safety switch. This shut off my bike on the highway when I hit bumps because the tension spring was worn.. Try to start with kickstand up, or bypass it.
+jetroar17 When it is acting up, getting 5 volts on starter side of solenoid. Have 3 solenoids now and about to put fresh one in. I will check other components kick stand and clutch ie ohms thru circuit. Call me 443-766-0080.
actually Michael McAdam thru Stephen Lamber acct.
Stephen Lamber Sorry friend, not sure what your symptoms are but there's only a few things I can recommend after solving a similar problem myself awhile ago. 1. Obviously buy new battery or trickle charge old battery. Check/Clean battery connections. 2. Bypass/disable clutch safety switch. Fairly easy to do. If you have lights etc but everything turns off when you hit the starter, this is your problem. 3. Bypass Kickstand safety switch. Otherwise halfway through the season your engine will cut off every time you hit a decent bump. The spring that holds the kickstand up doesn't even last a summer. Be careful not to forget to raise the kickstand before riding though!! 4. Check cam timing. If you opened up the engine and reinstalled the camshafts wrong, it might turn but won't start. Ask me how I know...lol
+jetroar17 Replaced starter, starter gear, solenoid, ignition switch, and battery. This problem is usually after it sits overnight. When the battery charge starts to go down, it will turn starter on a good day. Once motor starts problem goes away. When not working, voltage on starter side of solenoid starts at 12 then drops to about 8.5 volts. I have been all over this bike and cannot find the problem. Checked clutch switch, starter button, and kickstand switch. Just ordered starter switch /kill switch handlebar housing. Really frustrated not making this bike reliable. My roommates job depends on this fix. 443.766.0080 is cell or mike_mcadam_21286atyahoodotcom
Michael McAdam Do not check the safety switches, bypass them.. The more wires required for the start, the more complicated the start becomes, and the less reliable your start will be. Fewer wires, fewer problems. All my starting problems went away after bypassing the clutch and kickstand safety switches (with huge emphasis on the clutch switch). Not sure if I can offer more advice than that. EDIT: I didn't have to replace my starter switch but that's a good item to cross off the list. I usually only by new hardware as a last resort because I'm cheap like that..
Did you ever find out the /problem???
Correct me if im wrong, shouldnt you be holding the clutch in while trying to start it ?
Anon. Yep he should be. Bypassed mine cut n twist then liquid electrical tape
Correct
Yup....
Alright, if you havent figured it out, what you can do is disconnect your starter relay, get some 12gauge wire from walmart, 10 if you can, anything smaller will get too hot, put one peice on the starter relay positive terminal, one on the negative terminal. Then also get a simple on/off switch and attach the wires to it. so when you flip it your basically doing what you just did with the pliers but safer. What seems to be happening is the link between the positive and negative terminal on your starter relay has gone bad and youre not getting the proper power to your starting motor. So when you flip the switch it should transfer the necessary 12v but just remember to flip it off when youre done.
+aaronmact Can you make a vid showing how to bridge it please same issue happening with my 600
Make sure you get twelve volts when the starter switch is closed, if nto check the clutch saftey switch. If that and your kickstand switch are ok and have the proper voltage then its your starter relay.
