You're welcome! Yeah, wiring starter solenoid activation directly to battery would keep it on constantly would kill it.

Had that problem on one bike where I lowered bars and ended up smashing start-button to gas-tank. Didn't realise it was stuck ON and was running solenoid and starter constantly. Until I stopped and notice starter was running! Couldn't turn it off, solenoid contacts had welded themselves ON full-time. Had to disconnect battery.

 

I hope that power cable with crimped ring-terminal between battery & solenoid is only temporary for testing. It won't last long with power needed for starting. Will end up corroding & burning in short time. Need proper solder-lugs and thick cable to transmit power required.

 

Electrics and me don't get on lol I think there's a short somewhere in the loom . Luckily there was a guy on ebay selling complete engine and loom running so jumped in the van and bought it lol.
it's a 600 1992 f2 I think the rear mount s are the same I can modify front mounts . Il trade metal work for electrics any day lol . Fingers crossed the rear mounts line up they look like that do .

 

Oh yes only temp run it for few seconds 👍
