Title: Electrical. Major issue
Post by: DarkCyDE on December 11, 2025, 01:08:18 PM
I pushed the bike out of the living room to test the jets. When I tried to start it. nothing. Just spun without turning over.  I tried it a few times. Fourth try, I let off the starter button. It kept spinning. Flipped power switch, kept spinning. key off, kept spinning. I had to disconnect the ground. to stop the starter. I reconnected the cable and tried the starter again. Same thing. Kept spinning. Wash,rinse, repeat. Ive spent 2.5 years building this bike. Im at the end. Now this!
                                HELP

I'd think that the started button has got stuck. I recently took my switches apart (delaing with a non start issue when hot, was the trigger coils) And I has surpised how manke the switches were , grease all gone etc etc. BEware sml balls to be lost if not carefull
