SR250 - no start on button but...

(1/4) > >>

Fedja:
hello,

I am an noob but I'm learning...fast.
Bike won't start with the start button.
It's a 1998 Yamaha SR250, only schematic I found that is readable is this one: http://www.cmelectronica.com.ar/wiring-diagram/imagenes/yamaha-sr250.jpg
If you look at it you can see that there are 4 wires going from right handlebar control; blue/white, red/white, brown and black/blue. Mine looks a bit different. It has blue/white, red/white, black/blue and blue on connector and two browns that are joined at the end..flying (not in connector).
I have plugged connector to harness and that brown joined to brown in harness. When key is turned to on I can hear safety relay clicks. Question number one; Is this ok behaviour?
After that I push start button but nothing happens.
When I was tinkering with starter relay I accidently touched positive wire from battery and wire that goes to starter motor and engine started.

So I took right handlebar controls apart and saw something really confusing. Start switch only has one wire attached to it (blue/white). Question number two; What does start button do? What wires are connected when button is pushed? Why I have 5 wires (6 but brown is joined in one flying) instead of 4 as on schematic?

This is frustrating.

Fedja:
Does it matter if I don't have left hand controls connected?

jay_kent:
My honda had 2 brown wires, and it was for power to the rear lights in park.

and yes if you don't have the clutch switch connected on the left side it often won't start the bike.

Fedja:
i dont think i have clutch switch on left side

jay_kent:
do you have wires coming out of your clutch perch? that's where the switch is, it will prevent you from starting you bike with the clutch engaged and it potentially taking off on you. It isn't with the horn, light housing.
