How the Starter System works in a motorcycle

[@smkemp07]

Thanks! My starter solenoid connector socket failed with corrosion and this helped me to understand the starter system and troubleshoot to find the problem

[@WalterForehand]

TY nicely explained! Concise and to the point.. Cleared up questions Ive had for a moment

[@mianahmad5918]

Picture quality of this video is excellent.

[@muditharajakaruna2843]

Wonderfully and simply explained everything. Great video.

[@sarahgeraceunitedmartialar5709]

That was a very nicely explained presentation. Thank you so much for that!

[@bashiruosman473]

Excellent teacher.❤❤❤

[@Ston3_227]

Yes freaking thank you dude I think u solved my problem

[@thefurryteddy1018]

Bravo, extremely simplified the process in great detail

[@admiralbeez8143]

Just about to diagnose and hopefully fix the lack of starter on my 1982 Suzuki GS650G. The starter stopped working on a ride. I removed the side panels, jiggled the connections and the starter worked fine again. But once home the starter stopped working again. So, here I am watching your vid to consider how to trace the wiring between the battery, starter and switch and back.

It should be very similar in layout to the starter system in this video. Take a look at my video on battery issues as well. It could be that also. I've seen a few cases where it was a loose fuse as well. It's probably going to be something very simple like a slightly loose connection or a rusty grounding point

[@muhdhisyam30]

Bro explains but did a lot of yappin too. But thank you for the explanation! 🙏🏻

[@tonystone3397]

Great post thanks for sharing

Great video with detailed explanation, just wondering if we accidentally press the starter button while the engine is already running in stationary idle, what will happen? will it engage the starter motor to spin again? OR the ECU will cut off the ground as it reads the engine is already running so it wont engage the starter motor anymore? OR the starter motor gear is always rotating all the time while the engine is running so it wont effect eventhough we accidently press the starter button avain while the engine is running? i've tried once pressing the starter button while the engine running and it has like friction sound or something like grinding sound or similar...will it damage the starter motor pinion gear, reduction gear, crankshaft gear? looking forward to your expert explanation Thank You and keep up the good work for more great videos wih very detailed explanation ❤

[@lionheartmachines2193]

Brilliant video!

[@reubentan4737]

Tks for the great explanation. Question…after starting my bike, the starter motor continued running, despite turning the ignition switch to OFF. Can I assume that BOTH the ignition switch AND the starter switch are faulty, cos BOTH needs to have closed circuit to run the starter motor?

Simply awesome ♥️

[@SUNSET2000able]

So useful video 👍 That's exactly what I looking for. But I suggest you do more cardio, you have a noticeable dyspnea

[@danpatel6030]

Great video 😀👍👍👍👍one question, is this a standard system for different makes of motorcycles? Japanese, Chinese, USA and Europe. Again great video

[@TheMotorcycleMuse]

It's fairly standard. I'm not aware of a model that uses a different system but there is probably some.

[@shakedinbar2162]

@@TheMotorcycleMuse as you mentioned some starter motors are attached to the left crank case and some you can just unbolt it and it goes off. perhaps that's the only thing

[@mjhodges5903]

I only have 0ne small yellow wire coming off my Solenoid...on my GSX 750... And the 2 larger cables that bolt on the top..iam not sure wot the small wire is for...🤔

[@ZepHoffman]

wow great video!!!! new suscriber

[@CMJJ06]

That's why an Electrical start is the best

[@doktadambel9269]

does that starter motor continue spinning even after engine starts to run or it stops spinning after the engine starts

[@anthonyarzu70]

Does it matter which terminal it connects to starter to the solenoid?

[@mrjones2009]

Thank you secret legend

[@danpatel6030]

Could you tell me the actual motorcycle components that must be connected directly to the battery ground? I’m just rewiring my motorcycle without a wiring diagram. Thanks

[@TheMotorcycleMuse]

Usually no parts connected directly to ground terminal of battery. Terminal of battery connected to frame so it becomes the ground point all around the motorcycle. Every electrical component is connected to ground through the frame grounding points which varies from motorcycle to motorcycle I'm afraid.

[@blckhulk]

To The Motorcycle Muse, how would you wire in the on/off red rocker switch above the push start button, can you explain the connection a little more for all 5 components i.e the key switch, on/off rocker switch, the push start button, the starter solenoid and last the starter, 6 components if you count the battery.

[@mfundosithebe]

I am doing an assignment l have to be specific and explain each of them what is their function can you help me please ASAP! 😢 Battery Ignition switch Starter relay Neutral safety switch Starter solenoid Started motor Negative cable & positive Starter

[@04poppop]

Sometime I hit starter button but nothing happens, sometime no problem but now no matter how many time I try no respond. Battery is ok, solenoid started ok, I bought new anyway, so where is problem? Bike is suzuki bandit 1200

[@alnothere]

Why are you talking about the gears if the video is about electricity?

[@steveneastland4128]

It’s great that you’ve made these videos, but…I feel you should have scripted them rather than the obvious ad-lib, I’m looking for tutorials for my daughter presented in just this fashion but became exasperated by the umming and awwing, the dumbing down to a level not in keeping with the presentation and the hanging on a subject referred to a previous video, I’m not wanting to be negative, I just feel you have something here that you could seriously raise the game on

[@pinpointMasters]

Too much explanation if you dont k ow the basics dont try to fix stuff 😅
