I have a starter problem that is driving me crazy. If I take the starter solonoid out and test it, it works. If I install it in the bike it doesn't. When I test it I connect a lead from the positive lead of the battery to the spade connector and the negative to the terminal that takes the cable form the starter motor. Th relay will energise and pulls in the operating lever. The problem might be that I should be able to operate it by connecting the positive to the spade terminal and the negative to the 'case' of the solonoid. If I do that the solonid will not energise. If I take the two large cables off the solonoid. IE the positive from the battery and the other cable to the starter motor, so the only cable connected is the small cable to the spade connector. If I press the Start button, should the solonoid energise and click? Can any help please? Starter solonoids are 130 Euro's each and I don't want to buy one just to diagnose the fault. Regards Kevin
