RichPugh Posted June 15, 2007 Author Share Posted June 15, 2007 Make sure you check voltage at the starter solinoid there is a fine voltage line there between starting and clickykykykykyky Hal I see you like my technical terminology LOL. Thanks a lot. I'm charging my old Odyssey CL545 now and have since swapped with another 5 pin relay to check. Tomorrow I'm riding down to a friends house (assumingly with the headlight on, tach working, brake light working and battery charging haha) and will be metering all the connections, checking all the grounds, checking all the crimps, cleaning all the contacts on the relays and sockets, etc. I think (I HOPE) I'm squared away. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quazi-moto Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 My problems were solved with a new relay and a trickle charge on the Odyssey. I'll always keep a few spare relays with me in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll always keep a few spare relays with me in the future. You hit the nail on the head. I bet the Odyssey was good so I let it charge overnight on my handy-dandy Schumacher 1.5A Battery Companion, swapped the START relay with the LIGHTS relay and VOILA!... Took her on a 150 mile excursion with no restart or headlamp/tach/brakelam/charging problems at all. I'm stoked Thanks everyone. I sincerely appreciate all the information on this site.

RichPugh Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 p.s., I havent had a single problem since. No return on the Yuasa battery so if anyone wants one, I'll sell it cheap. I got my new relays from Dan and swapped them in. The bosch relays I pulled out were noticably lighter and just felt less impressive LOL. I saved all the 5 pin Bosch extras in my took bag for emergency. Thanks everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuzziMoto Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Be sure you do not store the battery directly on a concrete floor. Wood is best. If you need help with any future issues let me know. I'm local. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm local. It's still in the original cardboard box, stored on a wooden shelf Where are you in Bmore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
