Soleniod issue

[ibworkin]

Having a starting issue. New solenoid, Starter starts if bypass solenoid. Checked start switch circuit goes to zero volts when hit the start switch. if you jump solenoid with 12 volts turns starter over. Trying to narrow down from start switch to solenoid. what else could be causing not to start? kick stand, oil, clutch?

Thank you, Chad

Side stand, neutral, and clutch switches are what I would be jumping together. One by one of course.

The pod itself could be corroded.

Those all are good. I have neutral light oil light head light when push start button oil light comes on headlight out.
Still nothing at solenoid. Can jump solenoid and bike starts.

Also have a high resistance in the side stand relay. But might be my volt meter. Will get new battery for it and try again.

Lmao, I'm an idiot. Realized the battery and start wires were crossed. Started right up after changing. Lol

OK simple and easy. Thanks for giving the results of your trouble-shooting.
