Does anyone have a "HOW TO" for removing the fairing?
My 1988 K100LT won't start. My mechanic said it was because of low battery voltage and a bad starter relay. The battery is now holding steady at 12.8V and the relay SEEMS fine (I've uploaded pictures-see 4A-1 contact point is worn and does not make contact-does this matter?) and I cleaned the spark plugs.
Now I'm wondering if the relay that controls the Fuel Pump might be the problem.
This is my first motorcycle purchase ever and my only transportation so I'm really trying to learn.
Any information would be great appreciated.
One more thing. When apply electricity to the relay the magnet does work and the top bar does come down BUT only one of the 'dimples' makes contact. This does not seem like it should make a difference but am I wrong?
