Starting question

OK so I swapped #1 to #5 and #2 to #4 positions. Turned key to on have N light only, headlight on no highbeam no horn. But when I hit the starter button does not turn over.

It does turn over when I swap back to original positions but not starting.

Relays are Siemans brand. What is the next step?

Thanks for the compliment on the Benedetto it's a excellent instrument!

You can order Picker relays from Digikey HERE. 
I ordered 10, they sent me a rack of 15 at the price of 10. <shrug> accident, or DILLIGAF? Who can say.

A blessing !

Good catch. Bob Benedetto is a Italian-American luthier that is a master. Benedetto in Italian is indeed "blessing" and it certainly has been one in my career. Since the instruments that Bob built himself are now very valuable, many of his guitars are in collectors possession and don't get played out in public. Mine gets played on every gig.😊

Now if I could just get my Le Mans started...I ordered 5 Picker relays from the link and I hope that cures my non-starting issue.

Now we just need the YouTube link for the 'what are you listening to?' thread.

This sounds like you have a broken relay...

[gstallons]

I am sure it is. He has new relays coming.

[gstallons]

Get one of these . You have no idea how important it is to use one. You can test every pin and function w/o poking, prodding around and damaging terminals.

Happy Happy Joy Joy! Replaced all 5 relays (which were most likely original to the bike) with the Picker units. Started on the button. Victory is sweet, however it was pouring rain and I didn't get a ride in.

A special Thank You to all that replied. And thank you gstallons for walking me through the troubleshooting on the phone. Super helpful and kind of you.
