Hello,
I know old thread and maybe dead but I gotta try anyway. My grandson and I resurrected my son's 92 GS500E after it laid dormant for 12 years. Got the bike up and running and it runs great just need to sync the carbs. New fuel petcock, battery, plugs and oil and have since put 200miles on it trouble free. Then I went to the store came out to start bike and nothing. No clicks from the relay. Was able to bump start and bike ran fine but still hit starter button nothing.
I am thinking either side stand or neutral switch or starter button or ??. I did replace starter relay solenoid but no change and no clicks.
I am hoping you were able to resolve your no start and could help me narrow my issue as well.
Thanks!
UPDATE!!
Okey Dokey! it was the clutch safety switch. after reading lots of old replies, and thinking it thru, and since several people stated the clutch safety switch was the easiest to diag I pulled out the switch to clean off the contacts and of course the actual contact do-jiggy fell out. Of course when I tried putting everything back in the copper contact came off the do-jiggy and the itsy bitsy spring went for an adventure. After finding the wayward spring, cleaning the contact on the do-jiggy, my fat fingers and old eyes totally pissed me off, but I finally got it all back in place. I also noticed that the end of the clutch lever made contact with the new bar end mirrors I put on so I moved the clutch down a bit to get full engagement. Whether it was cleaning the contacts or simply moving the clutch lever fixed the problem the result was exciting and I'm ready to roll.
