OMG.....lol
Follow the wire up from the starter motor, It will end at the solenoid,......
glyn

Its mounted under the battery box and I have known them to touch the rear cylinder head, which will drag the volts down, I always turn the mounting bracket around (well since I was stranded on the Oxford Ringroad a few years ago) so that the solinoid sits futher away from the cylinder head.

To think I nearly bought this bike:o:lol::lol:

Hope you get it sorted soon mate.


Mike

The bike was running fine when I bought it, I think its biggest problem is me :(

But I'm quite happy, I learn a lot of things about it, and I love that.

Anyway I think the solenoid is the cause of my problems. It doesn't relay the power to the starter motor. Tonight I'll try it on my road bike.

Thanks very much for your help guys, I'm sure I should be able to hear the sound of my 2 into 1 in the days or weeks coming... :lol:

UPDATE:

I was at the point I thought the problem was due to a faulty starter solenoid on the race bike.

So here is what I did:

1 - checked if the starter solenoid of my road bike works. No problem there, the bike doesn't start cause no petrol in the tank but the starter motor is running fine.
2 - took off the "supposed faulty" starter solenoid from my race bike and tested it on the road bike. Nothing works... cool I thought my problem was sorted out.
3 - took off the starter solenoid of my road bike, fit it on the race bike... nothing works..... :flame:
4 - try to fit it again to the road bike, now doesn't work too :flame: :flame:

Then I thought, I've killed my second relay... Then I checked if that relay was really dead by giving it power and checking the resistance (dunno in English?????) and it gave me 0.3 Ohm which means the relay's still working.....


HELP

:( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

My heart go`s out to you mate, your a propper tryer.
Have you checked the connections on the solenoid where 12v is supplied by the button ??
Make sure you havent just poped a fuse whilst messing with your other bikes wiring.
I think you must be at the route of your problem or very near.
glyn

Cheers mate... Yes connection on the solenoid where 12v is supplied by the button are fine... When the relay is powered I can hear and feel it moving...

SAINT DUCATI PLEASE HELP ME :(:(

Physicaly check that you have 12 volts when the button os pressed at the starter, If you dont have a multi meter a test lamp will do, I had one in the past that made all the right noises but didnt allow 12v across the big terminals.
Gash but if you stick a screwdriver over the 2 large terminals does the bike spin over??
Glyn

Alan says 'Does the mad french man want to pop over for dinner tomorrow - and bring his motorbike with him?'

We'll have room the the garage to take a look, as both race bikes will be loaded, but sorry, cant get over to you till Tues otherwise

C:)

I checked with my multi meter that the button well sends 12V to the relay, that is ok.

I checked that the first terminal (the one directly connected to the battery) receives 12V as well, that's fine.

Then I checked that my relay was working fine with my ohm meter, when powered its resistance become 0 Ohm, so that's fine.

When I put my multi meter (in 20V mode) on the second terminal (the one connected to the starter engine) and then press the start button, I can see 12V for a very short time and then back to 0.


I didn't dare to do that but I think I will have to do it... :( Cheers for your help mate.

I don't know, will there be enough water to drink for the both of us :lol:

That sounds good :) I get in touch with you later when I'm back home.

do that next mate - if it does crank, then it sounds like the starter solonoid.

Or, use a direct positive feed to the terminal on the starter motor, from the battery or jump lead (with the earth on the frame or engine) I HAVE to do this on the tri colour sometimes!!


I think I have a spare you can borrow to check it out (but I cant let you have it for long)

Common prob with monsters mate.

Alan

He's already done that and the starter motors fine from what he says above

Yep Kev, done that...

I've spent again the evening in the garage, no progress... Except on one point: I've tidied and sorted my bolts, washers and nuts...

I'm really desesperate. I think I must have a bad earth somewhere (I mean something connected to the earth and which shouldn't...).

Yes you are!!

Does Julie know?

:lol:

HAHAHAH superb !

/ian

Tonio, if you want a fresh pair of eyes to look at the problem I'd be glad to help on Saturday when I come over, I'll bring my starter solonoid over with me.

Murray

Don't you have to talk about your distant past in another topic mate? :lol:

That would be great... :)
I think I've got you number, I'll call you as soon as I'm back then you'll pop in whenever you can.

Glad to be of help, I'll U2U you my number.

Murray

U got it running yet tonio ???

no :(:(:(:(

the scooter is not mine yet... :lol:
But I keep hoping, I've got an appointment with the Dr. AK... fingers crossed.

No wonder its not fixed, Your garage is in darkness.:lol:

:D

well - have you 2 fixed that poxy cranky old monster yet?:puzzled:

C:)

Yes, he did. Alleluia :lol:

So, what was it then?

Sheesh, gotta do everything for these europeans :lol:

Hmmm
Must of been a simple one as he didnt tell us what it was.

I think it was the simple one who fixed it too :lol::o

Must have been the old kill switch again.:lol::lol::lol:

:lol::lol::lol::lol: That old chestnut.

He's French you know ;)

:D

Just checked his webcam, He isnt swinging in the garage yet......
Cant have been the kill switch He cut the wires to that:sing::sing:

The problem came from the bl00dy Halfords plastic switch :lol: which I used to replace the ignition switch... I think I didn't connect it properly (it has 3 connection points... all that for a red flashing switch :lol: )... After one hour Alan got ride of it and that was it... :D

MY BIKE IS RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNIIIINNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNG

Beware the French bloke with a.... running bike :ninja::ninja::ninja::ninja:

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

A running bike with 52.5 rwhp.........Beware the resistance..;)

I'd like to but there is no way my standard bike will be near that :lol:

Mine has never been touched by any Ducati pro ;) (*)







(*) Except Alan but actually he only fitted a titanium ultra light frog boosted ignition switch :lol: The one which comes with Monster 695RS only in France... :lol:
