Relay Replacement

[LowRyter]

so the failed relay Sunday was the last one (5th one counting from the left)?  Fuel & Ignition?  (the bike turned over but the fuel pump didn't run)

 

In a pinch, could you take #2 relay (headlight) to replace any of the other four to get the bike to run? (actually that was the first try that got the bike running)

Failed relay on the Rosso Corsa/ SSRIX: let's call the First (front) Starter Relay. Unfortunately, it appeared the second from the front (Headlamp Relay also did not function. Best candidate to cannibalize (if you have no spares and no friends with spares): the middle relay (called the 'Sidestand Relay, it is actually energized by the Neutral Switch).

 

Roadside no start drill: turn the bars lock-to-lock while activating the starter button, clutch in. If the starter engages, it is likely the clutch switch bullet connectors under the tank. No joy? Swap the front two relays (make sure they are both 5-pin) - if it starts but there is no headlight, the relay you moved to position 2 is bad. If there is any distance to ride, there will be no headlight, no brake light, and no charging. In that case, use the relay from the middle (#3) for the #2 (headlamp) position and start the bike sitting on it with the sidestand up.

 

As Kiwi_Roy has pointed out, if you don't have spare relays you can jumper the sockets. If you have jumper wire, your wits about you, and know which-where to do the jumpering!

 

EDIT: For the record, the bad relays were Tycos.
