i have a 600 srad thats been some what of a project
firstly i have had the bike started and was running with no problem. i havnt had the bike out the shed yet for a blast but it was fine.
the problem is.............. i put key in turn on and hit the starter and nothing.......... i carnt hear the fuel pump prime or relay click. ive shaorted the starter relay to test the starter motor and that is fine.
what can i do next?????? can any one help or has had the same problem???

i know this may sound stupid.......but do you pull the clutch lever in when trying to start her up?

yeah the neutral light comes on
and i have tried to pull the clutch in also!
there is just nothing when i hit the start button.
also i carnt hear the fuel pump prime!
does the relay have to click befor the pump primes....im thinnking the relay may have gone if this is the case
help!

the bike has a brand new battery that is fully charged
ive tried to start it with clutch in and stand up also
but again nothing......the fuel pump makes no noise when flick the kill switch on... but all lights work dash works the starter moter works as bypassed the starter relay.
where do you suggest i look next.... ive jus bought a multimeter to test some components. im guna chack starter relay with it also the diode and side stand.....
but all was working fine and the bike hasnt been any where!!!!!

Also, I have seen the kill switch fail, so the bike ALWAYS things it is in the off selection. You could try jumping the kill switch and see.

you can pull he plug for the kill switch and ohm it out in the off and on positions with your meter. for the sidestand switch you can unplug it and jam a paperclip into the plug so it jumps the 2 pins and you trick the bike into thinking the sidestand is up. get the service manual out of Rain's signature. there should be test for alot of the stuff you are asking in the service manual.

If the bike is in neutral, then you don't need to have the side stand up, the side stand relay will close to ground through the neutral switch, but if the sidestand relay is shot then it won't start for sure.
