Yammer Dan Posted June 26, 2008 #1 Posted June 26, 2008 Looks like Venture is not going to happen for Skid-In but took time out to look at 750. Battery up hit button nothing. Crossed over cylinoid (cant Spell) and VROOOOMM instantly. Still no action from button. Where is first place to look??? May get to do one of the rides at Skid-In yet if I have to carry screwdriver in pocket!! Help quick where look first??
BuddyRich Posted June 26, 2008 #2 Posted June 26, 2008 Check the wiring going to and from the button. Also, If you have an Ohm meter disconnect the button and then measure resistance across its 2 contacts. Should be open or infinite untill you press the button then it should be nearly 0.
Yammer Dan Posted June 26, 2008 Author #4 Posted June 26, 2008 Would not kill switch keep it from starting???
BuddyRich Posted June 26, 2008 #5 Posted June 26, 2008 Actually yes. The kill switch should shut down the power to the ign system.
Squeeze Posted June 26, 2008 #6 Posted June 26, 2008 All my Bikes don't do anything when the Kill Switch is OFF
Yammer Dan Posted June 26, 2008 Author #7 Posted June 26, 2008 It is on bike starts right up crossing terminals on cylinoid no action from starter button.
Squeeze Posted June 26, 2008 #8 Posted June 26, 2008 Dan, check the KILL Switch first !!! The Solenoid (Starter Relay) is operated by the Button when the Killswitch is in ON Position, the Tranny is in Neutral OR the Sidestand is up OR the Clutch Lever is pulled. When all these Conditions are given, the Contacs of Starter Button may be dirty or the Connector between Main Wireing Harness and the Handlebar Switch has bad Contact.
FROG MAN Posted June 26, 2008 #9 Posted June 26, 2008 If you can get that bumble bee started and up to skids garage friday morning we can get it going.
mbrood Posted June 26, 2008 #10 Posted June 26, 2008 Solenoids DO go bad... check the wiring... mine had one side of the solenoid ALWAYS hot and the switch grounded the other... so... ground the other...
rod Posted June 26, 2008 #11 Posted June 26, 2008 What kind of 750 ? We have some bikes on the range that will crank over with the kill switch on and others not. I would start at the switchs on the handle bars, then safety switches/relay and last the solenoid itself. In a pinch you can install a aux start button till you sort things out. A solinoid for older cars can be used and are much cheaper if you can find a good place to mount it. A lot of guys on the Virago site use an old Ford solenoid for a lot less money than the bike part. Good luck Rod
