Got the OEM solenoid and guess what! It slid right in perfect! Especially in tight spaces, I think easy, even if you pay a little more ($75), is worth it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group. To unsubscribe from th

Allen's suggestion of a paperclip is a good one. Also a very fine jeweler's screwdriver works too. It's a single-tang retention clip, just depress the tang with your tool and GENTLY pull on the wire to remove the terminal. If a gentle pull does not do it you need to reposition the tool. Don't forc

Sure, here is a close up of the solenoid part of the 83-85 CB650 wiring diagram I reverse engineered from Mr Clymer, however I must say that the drawing i was working off of was a bit obscured and I think there is a link that connects the Red wire to the main fuse as well. I say this since the Red

I didn't answer your question fully. Two of the wires go to the fuse. One for battery + the other to the ignition switch. The other wires are for the relay that operates the starter. So if that fuse or the solenoid fail all power is lost except for the main feed for the starter. So you can bridge t

There is wiring inside the solenoid for the fuse. Sometimes that can burn up. Also if you bought one of the Chinese solenoids off eBay you may have to swap the wires that plug into it. As they don't always match despite being sold as something that is a direct fit. It is easy enough to figure out t

Allen, my trouble shooting went pretty much along the path your mention. But I have a question. Why/how would the solenoid failure kill all? Only thing I can think is a dirty post on the + side Also, the main fuse flows ALL of the bike's power? So does the 4 wire plug on top of the sole

Thanks! I brought the solenoid from my 700S at home and my friend swapped it out. Problem solved. Either the fuse, which was just a bare copper wire bundle, or the solenoid. Got a new one on the way for mine at home for $10 with the new blade style fuse. -- You received this message because

If you have no power at all then it would have to be 1st the main fuse or the solenoid its self, then ignition switch. Then fuse panel. That is the electrical path. Be sure your frame ground point is clean. Allen Thomas On Nov 1, 2015 12:24 PM, "Tommy Hill" wrote: > Kyle, that was my next though

A sticking ignition switch will cause this behavior too. You really need a multimeter and the wiring diagram to diagnose this. -Kyle On Sun, Nov 1, 2015 at 9:27 AM, Tommy Hill wrote: > Thanks. That is what I thought. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google
