HI Guys,
first off - congratulations on an excellent informative forum.
I have just picked a 1984 K100RT (non runner). The chap I bought it from said that his mate had looked at it and thought the ignition unit under the tank was faulty.
I have had a look at it and this is what I have done/found.
Cleaned all the earth points and changed the fuses
The starter will not turn over when pushing the start button
The fuel pump does not pressure up when the ignition switch on turned on
The fuel pump does work when the starter button is pressed.
If I earth the wire from the starter relay that goes up to the ignition unit plug the starter turns.
I pulled the lid off the starter relay and held the contacts together and the bike runs
Does this point towards the ignition unit or a wiring problem?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Geoff
