Please help someone? I'm scratching my head as to what is wrong with the starter circuit on my K100.
First off let me tell you that the bike has been stored outside in all weathers for the past 6 years without being started. I bought the bike last week with the intention to bring it back to its former glory.
It has 19000 miles and I'm the second owner.
I've fitted a new battery and get all the lights on the dash board come on. The lights and the horn don't seem to work and also the indicator lights seem to default to a hazard warning light setting. When I hit the start button the fuel pump relay clicks on and so does the start relay also there is a click in the fuel tank which I presume is the fuel pump kicking in. There is no action at the starter motor though. I have pulled the starter motor out and it seems to be ok although I'm going to test this away from the bike in a moment.
Any ideas Guys???
