Spike101uk Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 As title suggests my bike xv125 has recently returned from a bad garage who seemed to make my bike unridable, one thing I have noticed when I pull the clutch in a loud single click is heard from the relays behind side panel, and pretty sure it's from one of the relays, anyone know why it would suddenly start doing this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Campaman Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 At a guess I would say the relay click is part of the side stand cut off switch system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted March 2, 2017 Moderator Share Posted March 2, 2017 Odd, normally its a bit of wiring trickery that interferes with the low tension side of the starter solenoid circuit. Wouldn't expect a 'click'. That would mean Yamaha used a relay to operate a relay, that's daft even for Yamaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Campaman Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 On my XVS650 when I pull the clutch lever in I can hear a slight click with ignition on or off which I presume is a micro switch which tells the side stand cutoff that the clutch lever has been pulled in so you can start the bike with the stand up when the bike is in gear. There is no loud relay click from anywhere so maybe someone has messed up the wiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finnerz89 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 So your bike was running before it went into the garage, and now it's not? I suggest you have a word if so Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Inglis Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 On both my yams the relays click when I turn the ignition on but not when I pull the clutch, as it is running badly is there a short on the wiring, can you pull the tank and have a good look perhaps with a meter as well ?

Never mind emailing, Go to the garage and explain the issue face to face. Explain what you want to happen, i.e. Either fix the issue, or return it to the way it was when you put it in with your money back. If they refuse either then contact Citizens Advice or your local Trading Standards and take advice from there 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
