Dude I’m having an issue with no spark on my 2000 tLR and I’m suspecting my kill switch or the connector. I have to confirm but I have changed everything else so far. What a pain this has been.
Electric gremlins are by far the hardest thing to diagnose. Don’t forget to check the fuses and the ground to the coils. It cranks but no start with no spark at the plugs? Check that the battery has at least 12.7 vdc. Good luck
@@fitchpaintingrepairllc9871 I figured it out bad connection with the old white factory plug. Cut it all out one by one and put a new 16 pin connector to hopefully stop any future problems with that plug fingers crossed.
Check all the wire connections. Start at the battery then the ground wire to engine/frame. Then move on to the handlebars and speedometer assembly. Check each wire connection. The sub harness on the left side fairing is notorious for the connections failing. Check the metal pins inside each plastic plug. The female side can get worn or brake. Wiggle each wire while trying to start it. On this bike it was the wire connections from the kill switch to the main harness. Good luck
@@fitchpaintingrepairllc9871 okay so I got my bike to turn on and turn over but my push to start button isn’t working my ignition is tho I think it has something to do with the harness
