can you hear the starter solinoid(sp) clicking

nathanhu · 12-May-2005, 20:12

if you dont hear the solinoid clicking then take off the right hand fairing panel and look at the battery .....on the right hand side is the starter solinoid. behind it is a small push in conector (the switching current from the starter switch ) check that it is fully pushed in
