Electrical Gremlin Strikes Again

On the general tech forum inexpensive replacement starter at the top of the page.

Part#11774np seeme to be the one most are using.

Thank you very much, I appreciate it.

I’m talking to him on the phone. Let me add a piece to the puzzle, when the starter spins by connecting it with a wire the starter gear doesn’t engage the flywheel. I assume this is because the starter relay and solenoid isn’t energized, correct? I asked him to do it again and push the starter button to power the relay, the gears still didn’t engage...

more than likely he did not power the starter solenoid there fore it did not engage the starter bendix to turn over the engine, and if u crossover the relay it will engage the starter bendix to turn over the engine.
sometimes i see people with a problem and they start replacing parts then they wind up the several problems then it takes a real professional to get it fixed.
if the starter worked good when u crossed over the relay leave it alone.

will think about prob while drinking a cup.

Yes have to jump the solenoid also

if all the fuses had good voltage then i think that the problem could be the instrument assy / alarm sys /
main connector.
i am not advising u to do this
but if it was in my shop i would cross over the engine management relay to see if it would run. and if it did that would confirm that the trouble is instrument assy / alarm sys /main connector.
i am a little light on touring info do u have a bypass plug to bypass the alarm system?

I will attempt to wire across the relay this evening. If I wire across that, should the bike start normally? I do have a alarm system bypass plug that I've been a little suspicious of, it is dirty but I've done some continuity testing on it and it seems to be okay. I will double check this evening.

Check ground wires' from relays and devices to the ECU main connectors for continuity. Neither the frame nor engine are used as a ground conduit. A broken or burnt wire could cause these symptoms. So could an ECU with a faulty ground internally. A service manual wiring diagram will show the circuits but not the locations in the wire harness. Check the battery ground terminal crimps and wires too.

I will check this as well

for what it is worth these rockets have had green corrosion problems at the ecu connector,main harness connector, relay connectors and some other places. look for green.
