    We decided to take a ride to Raceman67's to do some preseason scouting in the deer woods yesterday. It was a nice little ride for about 50 miles with a short trip by wally world for some food plot seed. We walked the property, threw some seed and walked back up to John's house just in time to catch John and Melinda with some friends kicking it on the rear deck. Being the gracious host that they are, we were immediatly welcomed and included in the festivities. One thing led to another and after grilled munchies and wings on the Green egg it got pretty late. So, the ride back at around 11:00 was down the country road where we had nailed a ten point buck with the Chevy Cavelier a couple of years ago. With that memory on my mind we rode back with the lights and the radio blaring as fair warning to any deer thinking about playing motorcycle tag. The ride back ended up being non eventful and by the time I hit the bed my lights were out in less than a minute. Been a while since I slept so good.

    Nice, and a first gen too. :cool10: Let me know when you get it and we can go for a ride somewhere. Where is it coming from? I'm surprised you didn't go get it and ride it back.

    It's always the last thing you check. But, In this case I have to take the blame. Looking back in retrospect I recall thinking that the mounting screw for the inner fairing cover was dangerousely in touch with that wire and was subject to damageing or disconnecting wire at the bullet connector. I should have known to look there first.

    It was the bullet connector at the solenoid end. I just cut it out and hard sodered the wires together. Problem solved without having to run a jumper. Thanks Fellows That $12.00 investment paid off again.

    Talk to Ediddy, He is my insurance guy and speciallizes in motorcycle insurance. I've always found his prices great with great coverages and personal service. I also like doing business with a fellow VentureRider member when I can.

    Ok Point proved:dancefool:with a jumper wire from the Blue/w wire at the starter solenoid it will crank and run when connected to either Blue/W wires at the flasher relay when you press the starter button. I'm just gonna run a jumper from the solenoid to the flasher relay to avoid cutting open the wiring harness to trace the wire.

    I see your point but your input is not helpful. Thanks anyway.

    SWIFTY, I'm not saying your point was incorrect, I'm just saying you might want to try the De-caf Latte. I'm not saying, I'm just saying

    It has been several years ago since I have done this so I do not have a clear memory of what I paid. I'm Guessing a couple hundred bucks but I do not recall exactly. I do know that after time if you don't stay on top of polishing them or protecting them the shine will eventually fade. But still much better than the discolored coating applied at the factory.

    I can take a jumper from the blue wire at the starter relay to the black wire at the starter switch and it will crank without pressing the starter button. If I touch the jumper to the blue/w at the starter button then press the starter button it will crank. this tells me that I'm getting contact thru the switch and the ground is good from the starter button to grouns but am I losing it some where between the starter button and the Blue/w lead at the starter relay. That lead appears to go thru the flasher relay and several other relays.
  14. Dragonslayer
    OK I grounded the Blue/w wire at the starter relay (without unplugging or the pushing the start switch) and it cranked. This tells me the starter relay is good and the problem is somewhere in the start switch circuit. Is that right?

    It was the same as the small stock size of breather sold at the auto part store seems that it was around 3/4 to 1" opening size.

    They look good But, It looks like a lot of elbow grease work. I just took mine to the locale Chromer who dropped them in a vat of chemical cleaner then professionally buffed them out which came out as nice and also cleaned all of the little nooks and crannies.

    But the headlight is still burning and going on and off when the start button is pushed. This would indicate that the control wire BLue/W is active but the starter contact is not.

    No it on the center stand in nuetral. I did check the sidestand switch to make sure it was not stuck. I also tried to crank it with the side stand switch plugged up and unplugged. No difference. I believe I have ruled out the side stand switch.

    Big Tom you can't have my ice cream this time your on your own.
  20. Dragonslayer
    Ok maybe that, I do believe my start switch may have been sticking a little. I had one laying around and tried that one. Same thing. So I have two laying around. What is the bench test for them?
  21. Dragonslayer
    I know that would be the obviouse rookie mistake but the cut off switch was in the run position.

    I'm so sick of being stumped on this 1st Gen I'm going to start arguing in favor of the 2nd Gens. Here's what happened this time. Bike had been sitting for a few months. Went down to crank it . It started without too much difficulty but I noticed the headlight wasn't burning. So I read through a few post and got a clue to check start button switch. So i did and noticed while cranked the light would come on if I wiggled the start button. Took the switch apart, cleaned it, put it back together. Cranked fine and light worked fine just like it was supposed to. I'm thinking problem solved and move on to something else. Reinstalling radio that has been disconnected for a while. So when I get the radio installed and begin to put it back together I turned the key and hit the start switch. The lights come on fine but now no engine start. nothing no click no starter spin nothing but the headlight lighting.:bang head: Nothing that I had done since last starting the bike should have effected the starter switch. But now with the key on and shorting the starter relay out it will crank and run but not by using the starter switch. What could have possibly happened?

    Glad it was not any worse. I've had those broken ribs before and it's no fun. Hey Black Jack, I remember a day when ....... It's good to see you post again, PM me.
