quick and easy starter test? (Read 111 times)

jef.savage Serious Thumper Offline ridin' n slidin' Posts: 638 Boston, MA Gender:	quick and easy starter test? 05/13/10 at 14:52:30 It's acting like the battery is close to dead, I hear the de-comp click, then the solenoid click, and then a few more clicks when it should be cranking. The battery is good and charged and I've checked and tightened all the cable connections. Is there a way to jump directly to the starter to test it? thanks, jef

OHH! Let me answer! Everyone is usually so much smarter than I am at things like this! Cheesy

I jumped mine with a battery box thing. Negative on the rear footrest, key on, clutch in, hit the starter, then touch the positive to the bolt on the battery.

Mine fired right up. I knew the battery was a little weak, but figured riding to town would charge her up. I was right. It was not a hard thing to do, you just need about four hands.

Reply #3 - 05/13/10 at 18:18:12 yep, like mike said. make you're in neutral black to ground pull the rubber back on the starter terminal touch red there. if it goes a 1/2 turn and stalls don't worry. you just came on to the compression stroke. put in gear back the bike up till you feel the compression stroke again. repeat above.
