Hi all,
I recently picked up an XS750. Guy I bought it from started the bike up for me before I bought, so I know it runs. Trailered it 2 hours back home and the next day try to start it and the starter barely can turn the motor over. I have tried the following:
1. Jumping from the battery terminals from charged battery and my car
2, Hooking up before and after the solenoid
3. Removed the cover over the starter and hooked the negative to the case of the starter and the positive to the terminal
In each case, starter can barely crank the engine over. I have removed the starter and hooked it up directly and it spins fast.
Is is possible that something else is wrong? The trailer I rented from Uhaul had no suspension, and there were a few bumps that I was not able to avoid. I am afraid that something else got jarred loose on the way back.
Thanks in advance for any help!
