Guzzirider Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Do you mean the starter solenoid? It is attached to the top of the starter motor which is situated on the lower left hand side of the bike to the rear of your gearchange lever. It may be hidden behind a plastic cover. If you suspect it is sticking, try tapping it with a bit of wood to wake it up. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeeve Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 What is your electircal problem? There is a solenoid on the starter. Maybe the person who suggested MZNYC "check the solenoid" intended to steer him to the block of relays? After all, a solenoid (as used for 'lectric starter motors) is basically just an extra-super-heavy-duty relay... Best o' luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gary Cheek Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 You might do well if you can find a local who is familiar with vehicle electrick systems. Very easy at this point to break more than is fixed. Sure wish you lived in Deetroyit area. It sounds like you are about to look in an area quite a bit removed from the scene of the original crime. Have you tried a light bulb in place of the blown fuse and probing the harness in the area you were working when the problem first came about?

mznyc Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 Hi Gary, This may be the only time Ive said that I wished I lived in Detroit . Now your really scaring me about getting into the harness. The main reason I'm looking for advice is that I don't want to damage anything else because I am admittingly clueless in the bike's electrical system. You don't agree with what dlaing is suggesting to check the starter solenoid.The fuse blows when I hit the starter button,clueless me asked ,aren't those two things related?Unfortunatly the bike is in a remote area in upstste NY in the Catskills.100 miles from the city and a good 60-70 miles to the nearest dealer so I think I got to figure this out,unless any locals will work for food(Im a hellava cook) and beer or good bottle of wine or two. Thanks, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
