Hi all
I have had problems starting my 600 revere. Ignition on everything works but the starter button. Using the info from this site i checked the nuetral switch, side stand, clutch switch and clutch diode but still nothing.
I hired an auto electrician for 1 hour to look at the bike, he agreed with me that the items you guys suggest to look at first were not faulty. his verdict was that i have no live going to the start switch. He determined the wire that should be live going to the switch is the black/white one. He said to solve the problem he would have to open up the loom and find a break in the black/white wire and repair.
Firstly does this anyalysis sound likely? I have very little knowledge of bike wiring and am not in a position to pay bike shop fees at the minute.
If his thought is correct, and in an attemt to prove his theory, he took a piece of wire, attached it to what he said was the live going to light switch, attached the other end of the wire to the black/white one at the switch and hey presto it worked.
What are your thoughts on me taking the live wire going to the light switch, splitting of it and taking it to the black/white wire on the switch.
I appreciate this might not be the text book way of solving my problem but do you think it would work safely without causing any major issues else where on the bike.
Your thoughts would be appreciated
