Good to know! I've only ever run the bike stationary. To do this I needed to activate the fuel pump to fill the carb bowls; once the bike was...
Dizzy -- thanks for that info! Was that system used on the first-gens? Obviously the bike will run without the pump active once it's going, so I...
What happened is that the previous owner had done some really ridiculous stuff to the fuel pump wiring. Basically, the g/r wire was spliced to...
I just solved the wiring problem today! The previous owner had replaced the fuel pump at some point and time and had royally knackered the...
I did that last night, actually, at the shop guy's suggestion. With 1 and 2 as normal and 3 set to the starter button and 4 to a ground, hitting...
Took the starter relay down to the shop again and it tests perfect. The guy there suspects a ground issue from the button. Once I solve that I...
Not making up those figures, either. It really does only increase by <1v when the button's pressed. The battery voltage is 11.9v (needs a little...
With the multimeter grounded on the frame and the positive lead on the M terminal of the relay: Ignition ON: .44v Ignition ON, start button...

Well, I rewired the fuel pump. Now I'm not blowing fuses AND when I hit the starter button I'm getting a click from the relay, but it doesn't...
I should note that terminals 1 and 2 were/are fairly heavily corroded. It was difficult to get a good reading, so I ended up taking a brass brush...
Okay, that didn't take long. Here are the results. A measure of (1) is infinite resistance. WITH FUSE: B 1 .03 B 2 .01 B 3 (1) B 4 (1) WITHOUT...
Awesome. I'll do that first thing tomorrow morning. Any readings for which I should be looking, or should I just note whether or not I'm getting...
I sure do appreciate it. Thanks.
There are four. Maybe this will help. Let me see if I can make some sense. I traced and pulled apart the junction for the twistgrip wires....
I cannot hear or feel the relay clicking. I checked for that. On the relay itself there are two terminals. One goes to the battery, and the...
I just reassembled the wiring. Somehow I managed to get rid of the short so that I'm no longer blowing fuses (also, I found the cap for that fuse...
I figured out, finally, that the starter motor was grounded through the engine case (what a duh moment for me; I've worked on starters before, I...
I am pretty sure the starter relay is set to handle 30A. All the relays I looked at have a 30A fuse, and this one came equipped with same. Good...
