What to check when your starter button is dead.

A run through of simple checks to make when your starter button seems dead. This video is from a little while back when I tried to start my bike for the first time after three years.

Cheers mate. I hoped it would be something simple. Your video helped me check a few things and my Transalp ignition is now working again. Thanks for your knowledge. Very much appreciated.

Brilliant always easy to think what it might be once you find it.

Thanks for sharing, its easy to forget, we all do it.

That's just made my day. Been in a right mood can't get my bike to turn over but this just made me laugh.

Excellent. Many thanks for producing this.

Thank you for your video! I had dismantled my bike trying find the source of my starting issue only to find that it was the brake switch all along. I had a laugh! Lol

[jjmoore]

Thanks a lot of help I didn’t realize the clutch switch

[Iamfitnesspt]

Very helpful and honest. I bet you was so frustrated when after realising.

I have good new battery; no kill switch; ( that I see) and no click or noise when starter button is pressed. I took apart the starter button assembly and sprayed heavily with elec cleaner. Heeelp! 🥴

Good video lots of useful tips but I would have probably checked the main fuse first.

Gave it the thumbs up and subscribed.

Usually the check lights go on when you tun the key to on. 2nd check engine kill switch and make sure it is in the run position….

Battery is new starter relay is new starter motor new, all i get is a click from the starter relay when pressing the starter button and everything goes off then comes back on. Contacts are fine and theres power at the switch, stupid question would a broken brake switch prevent it from cranking?

[thrashefe]

I can start my bike with touching both contacts on the solenoid after pulling their plastic covers back, so my solenoid, starter motor and battery are fine but starter button doesn't do anything, usually if I were to forget pulling the clutch before starting It would crank for a second then it would stop but now the button doesn't do anything at all, I tried checking the cable connections between the starter button and the solenoid then checking all the sensor that wouldn't let the engine start but I cannot do all that at home, the thing is this problem wasn't there before a rain that took an hour, I thought starter button and the sensors wouldn't be affected by the rain since I am supposed to able to ride my bike in the rain, like a lot of British people do?

Thank you for posting this helpful video!! You helped me save some $$$

[renedelafuente]

Will a motorcycle start with the kick start if electric starter is not cranking for nothing? I was thinking of touching solenoid with insulated screwdriver but I'm afraid of messing up starter or something on the bike. Thanks for the video any feedback appreciated
