If your brushes looked anything like mine did in these pics you might need a rebuild kit. It's from a 700S but you should be able to use it as a guide for your 450. -Kyle On Sun, Jun 14, 2015 at 9:33 AM, Robert Kariniemi < robert.karini...@gmail.com> wrote: > I pulled starter off of the bike.

I pulled starter off of the bike. I cracked it open and cleaned the brushes with alcohol. I did not try jumping the starter to known good battery. I will attempt that next, as my circuit trace got the tail lights back up and the blinkers suddenly started working! Robert On Sat, Jun 13, 2015 at

I did not try it outside. I could still do that. I just cleaned it up, but I could not find a good 60mmx1.4mm o-ring so I loosely bolted it in to try to make it turn. Solenoid clicked only, but button for starting works! Robert PS my brake lights are out in back also. On Sat, Jun 13, 2015 at 8

When you say you pulled the starter and cleaned it up, do you mean externally or internally? Did you crack it open and check on the brushes? Did you try jumping the starter to a known good battery to see if it would spin? -Kyle On Sat, Jun 13, 2015 at 8:18 AM, Robert Kariniemi < robert.karini...

Now it does click at the solenoid. The brakes lights in back do not work. Headlight does not work, but oil pressure sensor does work, neutral sensing switch not working. How does all this "randdom" parts failure occur? It all worked last Fall on my last ride. Fuses all good. Robert On Thu, Jun

It was not in gear for the test, but you bring up a good point. The bike starts while in gear or not, if you just pull the clutch in! Robert On Thursday, June 11, 2015 at 10:44:56 AM UTC-5, Kyle Munz wrote: > > If shorting the solenoid while in neutral doesn't cause it to turn over > I'd pull

If shorting the solenoid while in neutral doesn't cause it to turn over I'd pull the starter motor and test it next. This has been a common problem the past few weeks as folks are pulling their bikes out of winter storage. -Kyle On Thu, Jun 11, 2015 at 10:03 AM, Matthew Ward wrote: > Is it in

Hellow everyone, I have an 82 Honda Nighthawk, which has started fine until recently. Now it does not click at all and does not start. I thought it was the pushbutton on the handlebar so I bought a new-used pushbutton, but that does not work at all! It does not even click. Voltages are 12.5 vol
