Ok- so this weekend I changed the case covers on my bike with new woodcraft pieces (left side got scratched when I went down at Loudon). After the install my bike wouldn't start.
I put the key in the ignition, turn it on, all electronics work perfectly, then I flip the switch- fuel pumps are priming, but when I press the start button- nothing. And yes, the bike is in neutral, kickstand up, clutch in- and all kinds of variations of those, still won't start.
So we narrowed it down to the starter relay/solenoid... there are 4 wires that connect to the relay and when the ignition was on they all showed continuity- which is weird because that's what should happen when the ignition button is pressed (which would cause the starter motor to start). I think this could also happen if the solenoid is fried, but again not sure on that...
I have a scorpio alarm installed, but I went over the manual and it can't be the reason because it's not wired into anything relating to the ignition- but either way I will remove it.
Yamaha manual says to jump the relay- but I'm scared of shorting something... Any ideas??
any help is appreciated! thanks.
it's a 2005 R6.
