Have you tried using a jump lead direct to the starter motor live (+) terminal boltfabiostar wrote:yup tried the lot. iv now two sets of relays. starters.batteries , cables everyrhing you need to start an engine. tried jumping it from a bike and a car but zero.. still bumps fine and engine runs ok. it turns the starter clutch gear behind the flywheel fine but when the flywheel goes on it just hasnt the guts to turn the engine over more than the once?? baffled??
// my bikes fecking smit his now..
Have you taken enough out of his battery to cause that?fabiostar wrote:flywheel wise i was running the lightened one for a thou miles or so. iv changed back to two standard flywheels still no joy.
mcdee it turns the sprag gear (behind the flywheel) dead on but its not until you put the flywheel on that the engine tries to turn..
so today and this is plain strange. my mate steve brought his bike up. we put is starter and cables and other electrical parts on mine. and ................ nothing ,just the same... now heres the strange bit, put all my bits on his and it started but sounded a little lazy.. so we swapped all the bits back. mine still didnt start and wait for it.......with all his own stuff back on his.. his wont start now either and we spent ten mins bumping it.
now figure that out
ps, while trying to get mine to start with my starter and steves i noticed both starters go a little warm?
we tried maybe 3 or four button starts on each thats all.. god knows but im keeping my bike away from his... iv just checked mine again. im getting 14v across the battery. im getting the same from battery to relay, but outa the relay im getting 10v? and 10v the rest of the way down to the starter? is that not a bit low?.. im getting that reading on both my relays i have .tony.mon wrote:Have you taken enough out of his battery to cause that?fabiostar wrote:flywheel wise i was running the lightened one for a thou miles or so. iv changed back to two standard flywheels still no joy.

VTR Firestorm and other bikes t-shirtsyeah iv replaced the relay. all looks fine and iv cleaned every wire i can find. it did all look in good condition but checked anyhow... it is poss i suppose iv two dodgy relays. at least i hope so... so thats my next change,again lol.Wicky wrote:Ooer - those missing volts are critical if only 10v is getting to the starter which won't be enough to churn it over.
Didn't you already replace the starter relay? Is the fuse okay? any corrosion in and around that department.
. when you say 10 v out of the relay ,is the lead connected to the starter and the bike is turning over or trying to turn over (this is important )

i did try jumping across the relay connections but it still wont turn it over.
.... but worse is an evil man has offered me bad money,like £600 the way it sits and i think the old girl may be going to a new home . il have a few beers and consider the offer.... but cheers lads again iv learnt two things... i hate electrics. and a broken vtr is as much use as a choccy fireguard lol
Any chance of the crank stub back so I can cut another for a friend? 
. il get that rite back to you.....
