750 starter safety
« on: September 07, 2009, 09:25:23 PM »
I was installing some blade fuses today, when I noticed white dust falling from my starter safety box. Upon further inspection, a corroded wire fell out, exposing a crazy amount of corrosion. I cant believe the thing worked at all.

Anyway, I carefully stripped everything and hardwired it together. I turned on my ignition, and the bike started without the clutch engaged! I rechecked my work and everything looks good.

Any idea how clean connections could do this? I am not to familiar with this feature.
Thanks

If you were in neutral that's how it's supposed to work. If you were not in neutral and the bike started in gear without the clutch then you do not have it wired correctly.

I see.

 In the past you always had to pull the clutch in.

any chance you could post a pic of the starter safety box?

I'm starting to get into my wiring and I don't know what it looks like.
