Getting my bike back together [84-1100] and there is a black wire coming off the starter motor. Looks like the black neg. battery wire. Cannot remember where I took this wire off from. I could not find a pic in the manual to help me.
can you take a picture of it?
From memory - pretty certain that goes to the starter solenoid and is 12volt power. The starter grounds thru the engine case.
Good luck

Cannot take [pic. will put on the starter solenoid and see how it goes. thanx
Ha, ha. Well I don't know what the starter solenoid looks like either, and I could not find a pic of it listed in the manual. Neither did I find a solenoid listed in the electrical diagram. I am guessing this wire hooks to something under the right side panel near the igniter unit, but guess i will need a little more help. Worst comes to worst I can load bike up and take it to the shop and have them point it out, but if someone wants a couple free beers wnen I see them next.....
starter s,noid is behind the battery in a rubber mount near the rear inner gaurd should have a thick red wire on one connection

Last night I figured that out. Round, a little larger than a quarter, has a pos. post and neg post on one end, the pos. post is on the top, on the other end has a red and white Hitachi 12V sticker with the number A104-128. Thanx FJ11.5 and Slowoldguy, and I am to assume a solenoid and a relay is the same thing?
hate to burst your bubble , but a relay is different again , might help yourself if you buy or download a manual , very handy to have if the network is down :good2:
Without taking one apart and looing at the guts, how do you tell the difference?
Does it matter? On the dragbike I replaced the Yamaha RELAY with a Ford SOLENOID.
And we all run gas through the ENGINE in our MOTORcycle right? But we start it with a MOTOR...
And what's the best oil to use?! :flag_of_truce:
