  • starter relay

    Okay, so i have been wrenching away tonight in the garage, and i was trying to clean the contact on the starter relay, and it broke. damn. went to mikesxs, but they only have a starter relay for the 650....anyone have any thoughts? help please. i really want to hear my bike start again. i fixed the spark plug wire, and put in new plugs and i just want the damn thing to start....

    That Mikesxs relay looks like it would work fine, but you'll have to splice the plug on from the old solenoid and figure out how to mount it. A car (Ford) solenoid would also work, but it is probably a bit larger, and again, mounting issues. There's a bunch on eBay if you'd wanna go that route....

    If you just want to start the bike to hear it run, turn on the key and touch the two heavy cables at the solenoid together, and the bike should crank.

      If you cannot find one, pop in at your local scooter dealer. All of the scooters has them and match one up from there.
