97 F3 wont crank
Sorry for the slow response.
I was out doing the whole Father's Day thing.
I am going to go through the basic test, using my bike as a guinea pig.
Please do the same test in the same order and write down each result.
TEST 1: What is your battery voltage? (Mine is 12.89V)
TEST 2: What is your battery voltage with the key on? (Mine is 12.23V)
TEST 3: What is your battery voltage when you try and crank the engine? (Mine is over 12V)
TEST4: With the key off, what is the voltage at the solenoid's red and red/white wires. Probe the connector, don't poke any wires! (Mine is 12.89 at both)
TEST 5: Put the bike in N, turn on key, put your red volt meter probe to the yellow solenoid wire terminal and put your black volt meter probe to the positive (Red) side of battery and note the voltage. (Mine is -11.9V).
Test 6: Put your bike in 1st gear and the key on, put your red volt meter probe to the green solenoid wire terminal and put your black volt meter probe to the negative (Black) side of battery. With the motor run switch ON, push the starter button in and note the voltage. (Mine is -11.9V).
PLEASE POST YOUR RESULTS SOON,as I must put my bike back together once we figure this out.
