bikernewbie Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Trying to debug a starting problem. Not getting any response at all. Following the Clymer's manual I bypassed the starting circuit cut-off relay and supposedly got the correct behavior from the starter solenoid. It says to check the relay, it's "behind' the solenoid. Nowhere in any of my manuals do I see a picture of one...is it a little metal cubic 1" box?? Starter is fine, battery okay, solenoid okay, neutral light is on, and the starter button fires....I get nothing, occasionally a 'click' You can hear the solenoid click and sometimes you can hear a whining noise where the motor is trying to start, but it won't turn over. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveralls Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 got the same problem man if you find out let me know Starter motor brushes ? A quick check with a good battery & jump leads, neg to ground on the engine, pos to the starter side of the relay, if the motor turns thats OK Bad solenoid? ( it may click but the contacts inside may have burned out ) Check by using a jump lead to connect both terminals ( bypassing the solenoid ) - if the motor spins up the solenoid is bad Check the fuse contacts and any earth leads - a bad connection can sap a lot of power due to the high resistance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator YamaHead Posted December 10, 2008 Moderator Share Posted December 10, 2008 Had this same issue with my 550 Seca once....ended up finding the Starter Circuit cut-off relay under the frame backbone, above the coils. Yanked the relay & jumper-wired the connector to complete the circuit. Best of Luck with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
