Fault Finding 1 - Electrics

Left headlamp / main beam bulb. >>> Loose bulb terminals.

Right-hand indicator switch.    >>>    Faulty switch, works when wobbled.

Dimmer switch. >>> Does not seem to be working at all.

Main elec. power >>> 20A Main Fuse, full power when hard-wired. >>> Try different fuse holder?

Starter-Relay >>> Relay works when Green/White earthed to bypass Neutral-switch.

Starter-Wiring >>> Full power shown across starter-motor live and ground.

Neutral-Switch >>> Works fine when connected. Was perma-earthed to bypass neutral and kickstand switches, I guess to allow bump-starts.

Starter-motor >>> Does not work when removed and hard-wired to battery. Dis-assembled it shows no sign of the armature inside the motor. >>> I'm guessing the previous owner removed these parts to make the bike bump-start easier or stop it making a noise. >>> Definately need a new starter motor, not cheap at £125.
