hello all,
my first post but I'm sure not my last by a long way . ok so i have just purchased a custom bobber xs650 1980. the previous owner has annihilated the electrics, no key just a on/off switch on the right hand grip. starter motor disconnected. so firstly i will install a battery isolated as when the battery is connected it drains. i also want to wire backup the starter motor, i removed the starter and tested and its good. now I'm not sure what current the starter may pull i,e if a solenoid is really needed or whether a 25amp rated momentary switch would be ok ??
any comments welcome
