Hey guys,
So I got a 1988 FZR 1000 Genesis, when I got it, it wasn't starting "normally", ignition, etc. works, but in order to start it, you have to short circuit the starter solenoid with a screwdriver, because the start button has no effect.
The start button does work! because when pressing it, the oil light comes on, as it should, so the button itself is working.
I though of a bad starter solenoid, but I just replaced it, and the bike will still not start with the button, only by bypassing the solenoid...
What could it be ? I have followed the blue/white "start signal" wire from the solenoid and it goes onto the big flasher relay unit, could the problem be the flasher relay unit ?
Or maybe a defective kickstand switch ?
The neutral switch is OK because the neutral light works wells.
My guess would be the flasher relay... but since that part is rare and expensive, I'd like to be sure...
The seller (if telling the truth...) told me that the morning I bought the bike, there wasn't any problem, then after riding, suddenly the starter button stopped working for no reason...
