    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. 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.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

the 87 gs450l chain drive I bought won't start when you thumb the button.It will start when you jump the yel/green wire to the 12v connection at the solenoid.There is 12v on the yel/grn wire at the button,and the button functions properly.There is a black/white wire on the solenoid to the left of the yel/grn.Where it goes I haven't found yet.Is anyone familar with this set-up? I'm hopin to get my wife on the saddle ,(before she gets cold feet)

thank you

You do know that
the engine cut off (kill switch) has to be on and
the clutch must be pulled in even if in neutral
or the starter won't spin.

(My goldwing when in neutral will happily spin the starter but just won't start when the engine cut off is off)
 
Yes I have the kill switch in the run position and bike is on center stand in neutral.It starts and idles but the button don't actuate the starter relay.
 
You've got a poor or missing ground where your starter solenoid is located. Run a ground wire from your battery to where the solenoid is located, should cure the problem.
 
The b/w wire is your ground and runs through the rest of the wire harness.
You may not be getting good contact within the start button itself also try
what DanTheMan says.
 
it works!

it works!

case closed,I loosened up the clutch cable (pb blaster & a wrench). Now the lever bottoms out and it enabled the starter button.Thank You.App-
reciate your responses, sure helped.....
 
Re/grd.

Re/grd.

traced the bla/white out, found out that it is the ground.Haven't tracked it the whole way down but i'll now guess the yel/grn splices into the switch from the clutch before it gets to the starter.Thank you.
