finnerz89 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Get yourself a multimeter and check the wiring between the starter switch and the starter relay. Have you tried linking out the sidestand switch? Or starting with the clutch lever in? Also check the killswitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slice Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Not too sure but does it have a TILT switch on the Diversion? If a bike with a tilt switch is dropped or the battery get's low the tilt switch needs to be reset before the bike can be restarted. Tho I'm not sure what year they started to use these..!

Tommy xs Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 All good advice above, I find the easiest way to check wiring is with a test light if you don't own a multimeter. I'd also give all your multi wire connections a check and your main ground from battery to frame. As Drewp said check the fuse but also clean the connections as that's very common problem.

mike1949 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 It could possibly be the ongoing problem I had on my old Divvy 600. The cable from the starter button goes to a block connecter under the seat to the starter solenoid so when you press the button it kicks in the solenoid then the starter. But, where the cable from the starter button goes into the block connecter it quite often corrodes hence no connection at starter motor. What I had to do is pull the cable out which came out so easy, clean connector, strip a bit of old cable and re-join. But, here's the clever bit, to test if that is the problem, and be very carefull doing this, short the two heavy duty cable nuts on the starter solenoid with a screwdriver carefull not to touch the metal shaft of the screwdriver and if the bike turns over then there is a break between starter button and starter motor. Hope this helps but by the time you read this you've most likeley sorted it out. If I remember right because It's been over four years since I've had the bike to find the block connector remove the seat and it should be on the left hand side looking forward. There will be more than one so either find the colour of cable from manual or just look for the corroded cable. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
