Hi fellas,
I’m just struggling to identify a starting issue, hoping you can shed light on it.
On the face of it the starter is very sluggish to turn. I had it off the bike and it did seem to function fine, so i refitted it, cleaned the connections, fitted a new pc545, and re-crimped all relays at the base (as there were a few bad connections and some were being pushed back out of the blocks).
The starter solenoid flicks fine but is extremely laboured on spinning. It got very hot quite quickly too.
The PO had bypassed the safety circuit by cutting and tying the white wires together.
Am I looking at a problem with the ignition switch? Or could the starter be on it’s way out?
Appreciate any pointers!
