BP strter relay clicks and bikes a push start

Postby m4panther » Fri Oct 06, 2006 7:53 pm

what causes it to click like crazy? is it a bad relay or bad solenoid at the starter, weak battery whats the deal?.

check the input and outpot voltage of the relay. corrosion of connectors common on these bikes

also, a bad battery can show 12v with no load, then drop rapidly with load. what is the voltage at the battery while trying to crank?

relay

Postby DAVID THOMPSON » Sat Oct 07, 2006 9:17 am

my rt 125 did same thing

1load test battery
2 jump big contacts on relay and see what happens
or try a different relay
here in the usa the relays on lawn mowers die and about 80% of the time
you can drill out the ribits clean the contacts and they work again
but the motorcycle ones are junk when you take them apart

3 contacts inside relay bad

4 yamaha number 4KD-81940-00 same as RT125 may fit other MZ Bikes
i paid $28usd in 2003 at a aftermarket atv shop

I tried the load test and it drops to 6 volts... so hey that battery lasted me a long time

Sounds like a battery issue to me, last week i left work, started no probs, drove 4 miles to my mates house to drop off some tuning parts, chatted for 10 minutes, jumped on my bike and.......nothing! Battery died! Some clicking from realys, etc but not enough juice to crank her up. New battery next day, thump thump thump thump thump...brrrrrrrr.......sorted.

if it does not run when i get done with the switches its time to bring out the pickup truck :-D
