2005 Tiger 955i Not Starting

John III · Apr 7, 2021

I am new to the site and working on a 955i. The bike has been sitting for 12yrs has 6k miles on it. New battery has been installed. When I toggle the red on/off switch I here a click from one of the black relay switches under the seat. When I press the start button I get nothing at all. There is power to the headlights. I did read a thread about a faulty starter solenoid. Could this be it? Thanks Folks!

Had the same on my 2003 955i speed triple years ago, it was the starter solenoid.

Or the contacts in the starter motor may be stuck....it's worth a gentle tap or two in the starter motor to see if that frees them up.
I do stress though, gentle

I replaced the solenoid and kickstand switch. I also tapped on the starter like suggested. Still nothing. I found this plug under the tank. Not sure if it is for an accessory.
