Sometimes my start button gives problems
and does not respond at all, then suddenly
it works or if you press it hard enough that
works too, I think it needs replacing soon.
-----------------------------------------------
basically we want to see if the bike runs in the first place
and if power is reaching the CDI and if the coil is working
properly; if the bike starts, this will mean the problem rests
in the starting system only:
1. - turn on all switches as if ready to start bike (place in neutral)
2. - grab some jumper cables, attach to a car's battery
3 - attach (-) negative end to the engines clutch lever
4 - then attach the (+) positive end to a large screwdriver,
you will use it to briefly touch the bikes electric starter's
(+) cable/nut end, see the black rubber cap in the pic?
expose that and touch (+) there (give it a bit of gas too).
5 - this direct jolt of current to the starter
should start
the bike
if all is well; this produces a strong spark and
crank to the starter; good luck
your starter relay could be faulty (fuses ok?) Good luck, RP
