Ok, I have finally put all of the xs2 back together – that is all the electrics are finally connected up and all the control cables fitted. Fitted a new set of starter gears/spring behind the clutch. As the started system was known to be not working or making a noise.
Having never actually seen anything working on this bike it was time to find out whats the score.
So all lights work etc which was a good start. Nice spark on the plugs.....
The time had come to see if the electric starter would turn the engine over without the plugs in....
All I got was a screeching noise from the starter motor (I think). Engine not turning over.
I have read that excellent thread on the starter system.
So before I start to look at the problem can anybody point me in the right direction. I assume the starter motor has fried.... or needs attention ..... but before I drain the oil and pull the thing off is this the right place to check.
Thanks
