BSA C15s never have that problem.... I came back from Lulworth Cove to Basildon on an A10 in a howling gale and heavy rain, it went onto one pot, I pulled onto the hard shoulder, with the throttle all the way open, and whatever was wet dried out and suddenly away we went, for about 400 yards, one pot, 200 yards, cut back in. It got me home.

I can start my bike with touching both contacts on the solenoid after pulling their plastic covers back, so my solenoid, starter motor and battery are fine but starter button doesn't do anything, usually if I were to forget pulling the clutch before starting It would crank for a second then it would stop but now the button doesn't do anything at all, I tried checking the cable connections between the starter button and the solenoid then checking all the sensor that wouldn't let the engine start but I cannot do all that at home, the thing is this problem wasn't there before a rain that took an hour, I thought starter button and the sensors wouldn't be affected by the rain since I am supposed to able to ride my bike in the rain, like a lot of British people do?

I don't really know quads, but if it were mine I'd kinda work backwards from the sparkplug until I found the fault, like start by trying a new/different plug if not the plug, then the cap, if not the cap then the HT lead, like that. Coil packs can be a common failure though.

Battery is new starter relay is new starter motor new, all i get is a click from the starter relay when pressing the starter button and everything goes off then comes back on. Contacts are fine and theres power at the switch, stupid question would a broken brake switch prevent it from cranking?
@Mr_CMH
@Mr_CMH 5 ай бұрын
I wouldn't expect a broken brake switch to cause that. Sounds more like a sticking solenoid, a sticking starter motor or a poor earth, maybe at the starter motor. Sometimes tapping the starter with a rubber mallet or dead-blow hammer will free it temporarily, which would reveal if that was the fault.

Will a motorcycle start with the kick start if electric starter is not cranking for nothing? I was thinking of touching solenoid with insulated screwdriver but I'm afraid of messing up starter or something on the bike. Thanks for the video any feedback appreciated
@Mr_CMH
@Mr_CMH 7 ай бұрын
It really depends on the actual fault, but I don't see that you can do any harm trying to kick start a bike, so long as the engine turns over and there is nothing mechanical snapped or broken. If when you turn the ignition on you've got power it's worth trying this. Good luck.

Geez I've been putting the spring on wrong for the last 20k miles, looks like it goes under the filter not on top, Thanks for the vid. I use Mobile1 15/50 oil full synthetic with no problems as advised from a huge motorcycle shop here in the states. The 10/40 on cap was the best weight they had at the time in 1980, Cheers.
@Mr_CMH
@Mr_CMH 8 ай бұрын
Glad the video was of help. Re the spring, I have the workshop manual, and just followed that. With regard to oil choice, there sure is plenty of opinions out there. I ran Torco 10/40 mineral at first, because my buddy had used it in his Honda 750 to very high mileage and it still ran like a sewing machine. I switched to the semi synthetic for the reason you hint at, that the modern oil technology is better, but I avoid the fully synthetic partly because it is more expensive for little gain. The oil weight I think is quite climate specific, and the 10/40 seems OK here in the UK. The bike, by the way, came from Iowa. Happy riding!

@Mr_CMH
@Mr_CMH Жыл бұрын
ABU changed from 4 screw to 3 screw sometime between 1967 and 1968, so 4 screw dates it to pre '68. I kind of wish I'd never made this video, because pre 70s the reels were sometimes given sequential serials, and the serial systems are not always straightforward. As I say in the video "the most common form is"...not the only form.

Very helpful video i might check my 2008 v strom 650 with your method as i have some starting problems recently (not always). I have also cleaned the start button-headlight switch. So for the test you connect one cable to positive battery and one to the negative battery and with these two cables check inside the fuse i didnt quite understand. Because i thought the solenoid receives only positive?
@Mr_CMH
@Mr_CMH Жыл бұрын
I'm pleased it was helpful. I think of the solenoid like a switch. The starter button completes a circuit which then throws that switch (inside the solenoid) by activating the solenoid. The positive feed through the solenoid goes to the starter motor, and the starter motor is earthed to the frame, as is the negative terminal of the battery. Hey presto, complete circuit, and the starter motor turns. The starter button is not the actual flow to the starter motor, rather it is just a circuit that activates the solenoid, which completes the actual circuit to the starter motor.....if you follow.... Ultimately they all earth to the negative terminal of the battery, frequently by connecting to the frame, or a wire that connects to the frame.

The bike leaping forward means it's still in gear. If you have the clutch pulled in it shouldn't happen unless there is something wrong with the clutch, like a broken clutch cable. In that case it's not an electrical fault, which is what I'm covering in this video.
