If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

Clutch switch is disabled i think the 2 ends are soldered together this. is the ways it was before my problem so i know bike will work with wires this way....My only thought could be a bad starter relay again.... i am going to try and get one from napa to day as opposed to the suzuki one which ive allready had 2 bad ones.. Any other thoughts????
 
Are you pulling in the Clutch?

Are you pulling in the Clutch?

My inputs anyway....

-For the bike to start, the clutch has got to be engaged. As you say it started once, I would guess you know that already.

-Step 1 should be to check voltage on battery. If its too low she won't crank or do anything. Is the battery new? On a trickle charger? If not new, you may want to pull it and have it checked at Autozone...could have a full charge but drop off too quickly under load.

-Assuming voltage is good on the battery, I'd wrap a rope around the clutch pull to keep it engaged to have a hand free. Check voltage at the solinoid when you hit start, if voltage is good, check the voltage at teh starter motor (below the carbs under a metal cover)...follow the wire. If you've got good voltage at the screw where the wire disappears you're next step is to pull the starter out and clean it. PITA to get it out, but can do it without removing the carbs off the bike.

Once you get it started, rev it up to 4-5k and check voltage at the battery to see if you're charging system is working or not.....
 
don't chase guesses.....

don't chase guesses.....

follow the voltage before you start replacing parts that might be fine....there are brushes inside the starter motor that wear down over time...also when I cleaned mine the first time it was pretty coated with grease/grim between the brushes and the copper spindle of the starter....
 
Have allready done voltage checks. Bike starts it I arch solenoid. Clutch switch is disabled. Just need to know wher to put yellow/green wire on new solenoid below
 
got me stumped...

got me stumped...

solinoid is one thing I've not had to replace.....good luck!
