So, in the middle of the ridingseason (here in Norway it is pretty short) and i got this problem with the electrical system.
I was out riding when the power to the coil dissapered suddenly, i have checked the switch on the handlebar and it looks ok,
but no power reaching the switch.
I i am not able to sort it out.
Previous owners has also did some cut and patch before i got the bike so things isnt easy to sort out.
As a solution to do a temporary fix for the season, can i use one of the fuses to feed the switch/coil so it power on with the ignitionkey?
There is also another issue, there is power on the startersolenoid at all times so the startermotor run's either the ignitonswith is
turned on or off when i press the starterbutton.
Is it possible to do the same temporarly fix there to replace the red/white wire on the solenoid?
Here is a schematic i found here earlier.
