Here's a new one for electrically minded Gasser riders out there.
So I have upgraded my starter system by doing the wet mod & installing larger cables including a dedicated earth cable however I am still having intermittent start issues where the starter works & then goes totally lifeless.
I have installed new starter button & soldered its wires directly to the wires at the connector behind the headlight & have also replaced the starter solenoid.
When this was first installed it started great however during a ride it goes dead again.
I can get the starter working again by simply disconnecting the low amp cable connector from the bottom of starter solenoid & then reconnecting it.
I've cleaned the connectors before & used dielectric grease on it but doesn't seem to help.
Its sort of like resetting a computer by turning it off & doing a restart.
Any ideas?
