1981 xs650 electric start and kick
open petcock, pull out choke, put key in on position
push start button-->
#1--No start, bike completely dead
#2--replaced fuses, battery
push start button again, bike still wont start (dead)
#3-Things I notice trouble shooting
I have all lights, turn signals and a horn that all work
with key on, (so new battery good)
But bike still wont start, even with kick
However
If the key is on, and I put screw driver across relay
(follow positive battery cable, go behind side cover --square 2 post relay)
it starts right up!
any ideas?
thanks in advance!
