ok, prob is, my bike starts, but only with the clutch lever in. (2002 model-not that it matters)
Key in, Ignition on, in Neutral, Neutral light on, all other lights on including BMS light. BMS light does its 5 second thing and then i would just press start and walla. Even though the Neutral light is on, i now have to hold in the clucth lever in order for it to start (Clutch lever has a switch as well).
We did a trip from PE, via Elands rivier road, groot rivier to steytlerville and willowmore, and back home via Baviaanskloof. This problem cropped up on the way back. (Probably be a ride report from Jughead very soon- he snapped all the photo's)
Any Ideas? my gut tells me its a switch that got jammed or broken as the roads were very rough.
???
Did some MORE troubleshooting today,
1. side stand out, bike in gear,neutral light stays off until i kick it in,bike only starts with clutch lever in.
2. Bike Idling in neutral, sidestand out, i select a gear, bike dies. (normal-safety)
Neutral out tonight and tested, bike wouldnt start without it being earted. Tested the switch, its good.
Ok, some future hints.
The wiring you are looking for is: Brown and black line- this wire runs to your ecu. A Grey wire runs from your diode/relay to your starter solinoid via the clutch switch. Check for breaks. none in mine, so i was a bit puzzled.
The Relay is the 3rd one from the right, as suggested. The diagram is displayed on the relay so you can test the circuit. You should get continuity in one direction, if not, yiu can strip the relay and replace the diode inside. a 1n4007 will suffice.
Mine was neither- just a bad connection- some cleaning did the trick.
