Headlights at start up, diagnosing an no start issue
Posted: Sat Oct 15, 2011 2:46 am
Quick question,
I have a 1995 RVF, When you activate the ignition to start the moto are the headlights on or off before you start? For some reason I remember them being off until the engine fires.
I only ask as I am trouble shooting a no start problem and everything works, but when I hit the start button nothing. All externals work but I do not hear a click at the starter solenoid when I depress the button. I believe it is a starter relay problem however I noticed that the headlights did not come on when I turned ignition on and forgot if the do or do not or if I have another issue to resolve. The bike sat for about a month while I was on travel. Battery is good as I disconnected and it sat on battery tender and shows 12.9V. Horn, Dash lights, Turn Signals, Brake lights etc all work. Fuses all good and yes LOL, I have it in "Run" position. I thought originally I had a brain fart and forgot that but not the case, unfortunately.
