Good Evening you guys!!!
So I'm a new rider and new to bikes. Just completed my MSF Basic Riders Course last week and bought a 1979 Yamaha 650 Cafe Racer....and I love it!!!
Being a noob that I am, I shot the battery by jump starting it with a car battery and flooded the engine from choking it, to get the bike running. So I swapped out the spark plugs, fuse, and new battery. The bike starts and runs pretty well now. But theres no noise from the starter when I press it. Before I did anything with the bike, I remember hearing a slight noise (not sure) when pressing it. When I bought it, the previous owner kick started and showed me around but never used the starter. Idk what I should look for.
Also the previous owner installed new turn signals front and back. I see the wires hanging out from the rear turn signals but idk where to connect it to.
Anyways, I need some help as a beginner to get the starter running and turn signals. I can't wait to ride this bike!
Thanks!!!
