The starter is relatively easy to rebuild but I would recommend tearing it
down and testing it first. Make sure the armature is good before ordering
the rebuild kit, etc. I'm no expert (as discovered in a recent thread about
this same subject) but I did take pics when I rebuilt my 80s starter. It

I checked all the ground connections, all are tight and clean. Checked

I took out the starter motor and connected it to a good fully charged
battery directly. There was some spark when I initially connect it to the
starter motor, but the motor never spins. So, I a

Thanks for responding Allen. I used a wire to jump the posts on the starter
solenoid (with the key in "on" position with lights on) and nothing. Bike

Bridge the posts on the solenoid, if the bike starts then you know the

Looking at the wiring diagram you should get +12v on the yellow/red wire
when you press the starter button. Also you should have connectivity to
ground on the Green/Red wire provided you have the bike in neutral.

Even the Walmart batteries I keep on a maintainer last at least 5 years Joey.
It's when they drop below 12.3 v that they begin to sulfate and die.

Bike batteries tend to be under sized and combined with poor charging
systems makes them expendable. You can prolong the life of your battery
simply by having it attached to a battery tender any time your not.on the
bike. Dont use a harbor freigjt or cycle gear float charger. This is

Slight tangent, but I've always been puzzled by the short lifespans of
batteries in bikes. I wonder if it's related to that long unused period,
versus year-round use you get in a warmer climate.
I say this because the Nighthawk had a three year old battery when I bought
it, still worked fine a yea
When was the battery replaced last? If you get more than three seasons on a
conventional battery you're doing REALLY well. Two is common.

Check and clean all of the wire connectors going to the solenoid.
Preferably pull all of the wire connectors on the harness and hit them with
contact cleaner and a brush, then reconnect with some dielectric grease.
Doing this every few years will save you the aggravation of issues like
