only turns over when the emergency stop button is on :\

[mahoosivedan]

Hi there.

Sorry, new here but have been sniffing round for years ( looking at pics of the olive green 650 with the chopped rear subframe and new seat)

anyway, Ive made a few monumental effups while restoring / killing my bike and now I am at a bit of an impasse....

as the subject say. only turns over when the emergency stop button is on... when I set it to RUN, it wont turn over. I have had a look at the wires and they all seem to be right, does anyone now why this is?

Thanks in advance for your help o great sages equal of heaven....

Did you do any electrical work or anything that involved moving the wiring anywhere? When it turns over does it start?

Hi, I've bone a large amount of stupid to the bike. I am putting it back together. That issue was a snapped wire in the back of the ignition.... fixed that. Now I'm at the point of turning over and sparking... but no bag. FML I shouldn't have been so enthusiastic.... got a wire diagram and a brain capable of understanding it? Looks like the loom has been farted around with in the past too..

I would just buy a new loom on Ebay tbh, or you could be there forever.

First, disconnect the cable from the handlebar switchgear and just check it with a multimeter to make sure it ok.

Right-o

So, I have made progress... now turning over again, took a plug out and turned it over. no spark. removed the small earth from the frame (green one) and turned over. re earthed whilst turning over and the spark plug started sparking. im sure im missing something v simple... good lord, why did I start unplugging things... its deffo been botched in the past as there are note on it about where to put some of the spliced wires... they are faded tho. brill..

OMG! could it be that there are no wires connected to the clutch side controls and no light bulbs in?... sorry for such lame questions. welding, I can do, painting I can do, engine rebuilds... I can do slowly... electrics make me cry.

[seastate]

The light bulbs wouldn't affect it but the clutch switch might

[seastate]

Any progress?

Funny how people post so quickly and are so nice when they want something but then disappear.

Im so sorry about that. Work has been bonkers and I have only just had time to play with it. up and running. need to get an air box now tho as it dies due to slides not opening.

thank you again for your help. I am staring a build / evidence thread I think.

Hi there. For me it was the wires coming from the clock and clutch control side. I knocked them and. They fell off so I'm in the same. Position again. I'm going to get it sorted tomorrow night so will pop up what it was. I think it was a spliced earth cable on the clutch controls tho and the wires to the coils were in the wrong way. Check the fuses and the ine in the battery.
