Starter relay ?? problems

Post by mikey65 »

Hi guys week 2 got the bike out on friday gave it a runn to see if we have any more problems. The bike started and run really well . Gone to start it today and the I heard a buzzing noise it is coming from the starter relay. I have checked all the contections and the fuse and they are ok is it a faulty Relay???

you mean it wont start now and all its doing is buzzing at the relay?
the voltage is too low...it should be more than that before the engine is even started. iirc, it should be at least 12.5 with the engine off.
this guide may help

im assuming you checked the reg and stator? if not i wouldn't automatically assume a new battery will fix the prob for long :(
if it was your reg/rec it'll kill your new battery,
