SRTurbo04 Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 alright my luck has finally run out. ive been having such good luck with my Yamaha xl1200 that the luck had to come to an end. it's been running great all season long had it out the weekend of the 5th and ran flawless. well took it out to the lake last week end and it wouldn’t start at first it would crank very very slowly for like 3 seconds then all I get is a click when I hit the start button. so I figured it was a dead or crappy battery. I tried using my jump box on it nothing. so I went out an bought a brand new battery an the same thing. anyone have any idea on where I should start. everything looks connected ughhh suckyyy!

SRTurbo04 Posted June 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 After countless hours of researching I found out the issue its a starter solnoid relay switch. About 50$ solnoid... now just gonna findone in stock so I can get it before the weekend. Hmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hot_wire Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Thought I had the exact same issue twice. First time it was a bad fuse in the ignition box, second time the connection to my battery had rusted/corroded and needed a quick sanding. Just some freebies to check before investing in a solenoid.

Tryed cleaning the cables an then a brand new battery no good . Will go threw all the fuses but I keep reading online the same exact issue many people have had an this is the fix. Its like 30 bucks so ill try it. An hope it'll be here by the weekend so I can try my new wakeboard out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An hope it'll be here by the weekend so I can try my new wakeboard out. Wakeboarding's awesome, but different without a fat wake. Good practice for ground tricks though. I spent my afternoon wakeskating... just don't run over the rope. Untangling the driveshaft leads to removing the intake grate which leads to shearing the head of a bolt which leads to retapping all the bolts and then to the step that I'm on - searching for new A4 stainless bolts. F my night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoot it puts out a bigger wake then my boat does :bangbang: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
