T595 Not Starting

"So new solenoid, new relay. The bike had started off the button once after I fitted the solenoid as a check"
So after initial prob your replaced the solenoid and relay and it started once?


Problem = bike not starting.
Changed Solenoid + Relay
Started
Blanked Alarm 1+2
Not starting
Shorted across Solenoid and starter Started
Checked Clutch and Side-stand Switches. OK?
Relay clicks
Fuel Pump Primes ???
Smoking horn (found to be Blanking Alarm 5 +3) WTF when did you blank 5+3? Do lights work?
Tried shorting again =nothing
Found thick wire going to thin wires fused. ( because it goes to thin I think its a bodge aux install is that it in photo? Anything to add here?
Checked battery and used other battery all good it seems.Have you checked fuses carefully and swapped where possible ?
Checked at ignition for fuse

Please copy and paste this and add subtract anything I missed. Then we have an accessible record of problems and thing you tried, please put everything down
Answer any question marks.

Perhaps some could answer this ...Shouldnt you have 12volts at the fuel pump?

 

Figure I can do some grunt work cos I dont have a good head for electrics.

 

So new solenoid, new relay. The bike had started off the button once after I fitted the solenoid as a check".................. Fuses and connections
So after initial prob your replaced the solenoid and relay and it started once? Yes. I then fitted the alarm blank and also did an ecu map change. = bike not starting.
Changed Solenoid + Relay
Started
Blanked Alarm 1+2
Not starting
Shorted across Solenoid and starter Started
Checked Clutch and Side-stand Switches. OK? Yes both switching ok
Relay clicks - yes
Fuel Pump Primes ??? - with the tank still on I'm sure it was priming fine.
Smoking horn (found to be Blanking Alarm 5 +3) WTF when did you blank 5+3? Do lights work? - the plug came with 5 and 3 bridged As Well as 1 and 2. I only realised later when I was cleaning all the bar switches. Didnt have wiring diagram at that point. Lights work fine and go out with start button push.
Tried shorting again =nothing
Found thick wire going to thin wires fused. ( because it goes to thin I think its a bodge aux install is that it in photo? - yes. Anything to add here? I don't understand this mod. It can't help current/voltage. Maybe the original wiring at the fuse box was u/s?
Checked battery and used other battery all good it seems.Have you checked fuses carefully and swapped where possible ? - all fuses checked
Checked at ignition for fuse - sorry but don't understand this one............some bikes have a fuse in the loom or built into the ignition check diagrams
So I'm losing a volt at ignition on and another volt to the start button.
Does anybody know of any other bikes that do this or have done this?


You seem to have an erratic problem that comes and goes so makes me think something is loose, check fuses by swapping them out if you can they may look ok but not work........... I would take it back to the condition it was in when it last started................To be honest thats about me done, as I said grunt work. Private message CAPT he knows what he is talking about, to name one

 

So?

 

Just a thought...Perhaps you should research causes of solenoid failure.

Good news Bernie Sweet sound when she jumps to life enjoy, Cheers, You fixed it mate.

 

Well done for persevering and sorting it out. By every other electrical standards, motorcycle electrical wiring is a nightmare, non standard connectors mixed into a rats nest..... I hate it
