    Bike tries to engage when I connect the battery

    Here's the answer from motogadget : Hello Keven, the m-unit v2 has no reset procedure because way it is designed there is no state to reset. If an output is permanently on it usually is defective. Was it wired directly to the starter? Best regards Jon motogadget Support Team Welp. Those...

    Bike tries to engage when I connect the battery

    I have this model, i'm not sure if there's a reset procedure. I've seen online the one for the new model, tried it and didn't work. Contacted Motogagdget waiting on their answer.

    Bike tries to engage when I connect the battery

    Could it be that something is plugged in reverse and giving it's power directly from the solenoid ? Considering that when the IGNTION LOCK is OFF, there's still 12v on the START O from the module while the rest give 0v ?

    Bike tries to engage when I connect the battery

    UPDATE! Alright so I installed a new starter relay, and the problem still persists. I managed to re-wire a couple thing and it seems like my electric circuit is fine. I've done some testing with a Voltmeter and spotted the problem. Even with my Ignition Switch at "OFF", no light on the...

    Bike tries to engage when I connect the battery

    Thank you both for the reply! XS650 1974. I'll update as soon as I can, quick question though. If the contacts are stuck or welded, will I need a replacement starter relay?

    Bike tries to engage when I connect the battery

    I'm a literal beginner, I know that on the bike there's a Motogadget m-unit control module, I thought that took care of everything electrical on it. Is it possible that with that ECM, there's no starter relay on the bike ? I'll have to remove the tank to have a better look.

    Bike tries to engage when I connect the battery

    Hello fellow XS650 enjoyers! The electrical wiring on my bike is a nightmare (looks like a spaghetti). Since I bought it, I've been having an intermittent problem, both front and rear right turn signal would stay on even when my ignition switch is "OFF". That problem did go away for a...

    rear suspension bolt, help.

    Alright, so first of all I was able to put the rear shock bolt back on, I used a metal rod under the shock and used it as leverage to raise it a bit and align the bolt. I went to two local hardware store, I used the thread finder there but couldn't find a bolt with the correct measurement. They...

    Thanks I'll try that aswell, yes I saw about the bolt missing yesterday. Do you know the dimension of those ? If not I'll just order the OEM one from XS650direct.

    rear suspension bolt, help.

    Thank you for all the answers, I do not have the center stand to raise the bike and I recognize now that I'm definitely unequipped to work on the bike. I have no mean to raise it, I'll buy a center jack to pull it up from the ground. Hopefully the center frame will withstand it. Taping the...

    rear suspension bolt, help.

    I'm a total beginner when it comes down to mechanic. Here's a video of my problem. Previous owner had a vertical license support that I removed, now the bolt is way too long, but I'm waiting on a replacement. Basically I cannot get the bolt to align with the thread on the other side. It feels...

    Bought my first cafe (XS650 1974)

    Good news, I'm back from it's first official ride :D While I was checking that the spark plugs were fine, I saw that one of the gas hose to the carburator was "stuck" (I'm not sure if it's the right word but, it was blocking the gas flow). Also, I figured that my battery was most likely dead...
