Topic: CB550 harness cb500 elec. Starter motor safety

[DavePhipps]

Through an act of gross stupidity I literally burned up the wiring harness on the 500. I have a 550 harness laying around so I switch that over. Everything was good until I get to the starter motor safety unit. I get some advice on how to bypass it by . I can make a jumper from Green-Red to Green at the red block before the starter safety unit.
The problem is there is no Green-Red coming from the starter button. On the 550 you have a Red-Yellow and a Green-Red connecting to the starter motor safety unit from the starter button. On the 500 controls there is just a Red-Yellow.

Help an electrical idjit, please

Yes that's the one. There is also no clutch operated switch on the 500. At least from I can see when comparing 500 and 500 diagrams

[DavePhipps]

If I take the red/yellow and bypass the safety unit and go straight to the starter relay would that resolve the issue?

[DavePhipps]

Alright time to go find my spade connectors then. I'll update later today.

[DavePhipps]

I've got continuity in the circuit up to the start button, but I'm at a loss of how to check a single wire start button.

[DavePhipps]

Start button is farked. Time to take apart and rebuild.

[DavePhipps]

Having my celebratory cigar. The starter button works!!!! The corrosion in there was frightening. Of course I lost and found the spring at least 3 times while doing this. I really need to remember to get my part holder out sometime. Yes, I'm a bozo. but a boze with a working start button!!

HOORAH!

[DavePhipps]

Ohhhh.. very nice, the floor looks good too.

Just for a hoot I tried to start it. New plugs topped off the oil and it was go first time. I'm amazed 
It idled well too LOL.

[DavePhipps]

Nah, there are more problems. It's leaking massively from the oil pump, I need to go through the top end and find the oil seepage, then rebuild the most simple front brake in the world. Parts will be here Friday. In a few weeks my son should take his maiden ride/fall on the bike.
I can't wait, it's gonna be a blast.
