This is my first bike.. It will not start from the switch. Nothing happens. Nothing.

I can jump start it but it backfires every so often.

Recently it cut out when I turned on the lights...

I assumed battery so got a new one, checked power was ok but still did not start after fitting.

I have removed the switch and tested it and the kill switch with a multimeter and seems ok.

The start relay does not click when pressing the starter button bit I could start it when shorting the terminals.

I have a data tag system. I am assuming that this is not the fault.

I suspect starter relay is at fault but could that cause backfires?

Advice appreciated.

My focus would the alarm, they are a pain the ****, I had similar problems and have now removed mine.

 

Any tips on how to do this?

 

You could open it up remove the internal battery and then disconnect it from the battery terminals.
