Hello,
pulled the boys 83 XS650 out to get it ready for the season. Key on, press start button, nothing. Not even a click.
Jump across the starter solenoid, rur-rur-rur! Ok, starter is fine.
Check the trigger wires on the solenoid. Blue/white shows continuity to ground when start button is pressed. Red/White has no voltage, even in neutral. So I'm suspecting the Starter Safety Relay.
I read a tutorial on bypassing the relay elsewhere on this site. Said to connect the red/white wire to any switched power source. I did that. Vroom! Started right up.
Shift into gear, though, and bike dies. I confirmed it's the neutral sensor. Bike running, unplug neutral sensor, bike dies.
So something is missing in the tutorial I read, on bypassing the Starter Safety Relay. Can anyone help me with this?
