Re: SV won't start - wiring fault? Chelmsford
Thanks, I'll take a look.
Bike has been standing for a couple of months but was a daily runner until it stopped starting on the button. |
Re: SV won't start - wiring fault? Chelmsford
Was a daly runner before it stopped starting in the button but I still think checking the stand switch, and indeed the frame earth if I can find it!, is a good thing.
Thanks |

Check the starter switch, mine just needed a clean.
There was a thread about a few months ago (another curvy) with the same problem. Have a search. |

Re: SV won't start - wiring fault? Chelmsford
I had this last year. The problem was the microswitch under the clutch lever had blown so when the clutch was held in, the starter motor was disabled. A new microswitch solved the problem. Sourced from C J Ball in Norwich for around £15.00.

Hi NTECUK. Bike won't start at th moment so I'm in Chelmsford. Whereabouts are you?

Re: SV won't start - wiring fault? Chelmsford
Hi Heorot, thanks for that. I took the clutch switch out of the circuit a while back so it's disabled anyway. I could look at the stand switch though.

Hi Sid Squid
Thanks for all your comments, I'll work through them, you're clearly very knowledgable and experienced! The bike will bump start, I can also spin up the starter motor to start the bike by connecting my car battery to the starter motor terminals. I don't think I'm hearing a click from the starter relay though. I've also noticed that the connector into the top of the starter relay has at some point been repaired. The wires are all there and it has obviously run for years without the connector itself with the wires run into spades connecting to the top of the starter relay connector. I'm guessing it's a good place to start. It's interesting that if the bike will bump and run then the right hand side switchgear if fine. This is very very helpful. So all in all all electrics seem fine, I'm just not getting a start click when trying to start the bike in the button. I've replaced the relay, I guess I need to hunt around a bit. Cheers |
