At the starter solenoid, there are two control wires. Blue/White (L/w) and Red/White (R/w). The way I read my wiring diagram, if I check the voltage between the ground and the L/w wire, it should be 12V. Should there be NO voltage between the ground and the R/w wire?
The way I read the diagram, is there is 12V on the L/W wire coming from the Main Switch (B). When the starter button is pushed, it allows the r/w wire to go to ground and pulls in the solenoid (3)…. and the starter motor gets current.
Before I connect the solenoid, there is 12V on the L/w wire and also 12V on the R/w wire.
The solenoid works perfectly when I connect the blue/white and red/white wires directly to the battery. On the bike, if I connect the blue/white wire to the solenoid and touch the solenoid red/white wire to the frame, the solenoid will jitter open and closed very rapidly. :cussing:
