Having to short starter relay to start the bike, new relay
|
|
|||
Ok, bought a new relay as the old one had melted... obviously bad. It starts and runs fine, save that I have to short the relay with a screwdriver to get it to turn over. Lights come on, and as I said, runs fine.
Anything I should definitely check first before checking the whole harness? Thanks for any help! -RC PS, I didn't realize this is my first post. Could have sworn I had posted on here before, but I guess the forum is so great, I've found all answers to my questions before this |

first thing needed is the yr/mod of your 1200,pm me your email address and i'll send you the starter circuit schematic if your mc is 5-7,your problem now is that your solenoid isn't getting a 12v signal on the yellow/red wire from the starter button
most likely your solenoid "melted" because of a short or overheating at the solenoid connector,doing this mod will prevent the situation again <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="http://gl1200goldwings.com/techcenter/article1004.htm">techcenter/article1004.htm</a><!-- l --> if you bought one of the new style off ebay you can actually use tricky's mod but leave that ato fuse circuit attached and use that as an auxiliary circuit, [attachment=0]

I was a combination clutch switch (partially operable) and the neutral switch having a poor ground. Where does the ground on the neutral switch meet the frame? As I see it (in case I am wrong) the green/red from the relay (ground) runs and splits going to the clutch switch and the neutral switch. At the neutral switch it runs back out to the frame somewhere?
