I've got a mates old GN250 and I went down to take it for a ride and the task went like this:
- Put keys in ignition and turned to on
- Headlight didn't turn on, odd i thought
- Choke pulled to on position
- Depress the red engine stop button to the on position
- Bike cranks over and starts up instantly without me touching the ignition button at all
- Bike is running but so is the starter motor
- Front brake lever won't engage the brake light
- Rear brake lever will engage the brake light
- Turn signals and horn work fine
- Still no headlight
So i turn it off and check all the fuses I can find, all seem to be fine.
Open up the throttle switch housing and can't see any loose wires or anything, sprayed some contact cleaner on the relevant parts and am waiting to see if that has any effect. So far, no luck.
Is it likely that it's the starter motor solenoid? Could this also affect the headlight and switches?
Could there be some sneaky fuses I can't find? Or maybe i'm being a chump?
Cheers.
