The voltmeter would have shown that immediately . The old VOM is your
best friend at troubleshooting.

Probably is ok, but..... I would also check your charging output. Does it slow start, after riding for a while? If it only happens after sitting maybe you have a drain on the battery.

Any ideas. Inspect and clean ALL wiring connections in this circuit. Use good dielectric grease on reassembly. Inspect your timing. Too much advance at idle can slow down and stop a starter motor. Test another starter in this bike. Consider disassembly and cleaning of the starter and to ensure there are no burned up armature wirings. Patrick |
