Hi All,

I am going through some problems with a new (to me) bike I purchased. My last post was resolved quickly which was fantastic! I appreciate the help.

Lets see if this next issue can be eliminated as well and get me one step closer to riding!!!!!

Bought a used bike (07). Starter worked fine when I was originally inspecting the bike. Turned it off and started it up a good half dozen times.

Once we got the bike home, the starter was not operational any more (perhaps hitting some potholes knocked connections loose?) When pressed, nothing happens at all.

-No click when the starter button is pressed.
-Does Not even try to crank, As a result, it wont bump start.
-Checked all fuses - none blown.
-Given the lack of a click, I thought it might be the Solenoid relay so I -bought a new one, and still have the same issue.
-Took apart the starter button and cleaned the contacts - No help.
-Checked and the side stand safety cutoff - is not stuck in the retracted position.
-Checked Clutch safety cutoff and it moves freely as well.
-Clutch In
-Neutral light on

I can start it by jumping the solenoid relay.

Oh, also the battery is good. Checked with the multimeter. I'm over 12V and I swapped it out with a new battery to be 100%sure, and no change.


What would you suggest I check next?

Thanks for any suggestions!

Cheers,

Mike
