Rebuilt wiring, no power to starter

[yoshisakan]

So last week I made it a project to tear apart my wiring harness and replace all the corroded connectors and installed a nice wiring loom. All the lights and signals seem to be working now, except for the starter switch. I'm certain that the switch is connected to the harness correctly, so I think the problem lies in the vicinity of the starter relay.

There are also 3 connectors that go from the stator to the ignitor, and i'm not sure if they are correct, because both units have been replaced and none of the wires are color coded. Would this prevent the bike from starting?

Thanks

Is your starter reacting at all, or simply no result from the starter button?

And those wires from the stator won't prevent the bike from starting because if you want to test your alternator you disconnect those before you start the bike. Just did that 2 weeks ago and the bike still fired right up.

No sound from the starter at all. Its in neutral, but I should note that I removed clutch sensor and connected the wires so that current should be traveling directly from the button to the starter solenoid.

My first guess was going to be the clutch safety switch because I just dealt with that myself. My starter wouldn't make a damn peep. From there I would try bypassing the starter relay by bridging the gaps in the relay terminals to complete the circuit. If the bike starts that would tell you that your relay is fried.

Also double check the engine run switch itself. I have heard of those going bad. Not sure the test to check it, but its all basic wiring so it should be simple enough to check it out.

Check the ground wire for the solenoid. The harness has 2 black/white wires in that area but if you ground both the solenoid won't ground. One goes to RR or frame, the other goes to the solenoid.

I would suggest wiring eveything back to stock and then make sure the bike will crank up and run. once you have established this you can then go back into the headlight bucked and bypass the clutch switch.

Additionally look into getting a solid ground that would suffice as a great ground for the loom and connections. I used the horn bolt to frame, and the main motor mount bolt to have solid connections. I cleaned the area with a 200 grit sand paper and the connections.
