if that is the case, the ignition is either bad or something in the wiring of the starter relay.

To make a side note, gerlims whatever they are cant be good but i do know oreo got called out on his master kill switch hahaha

voltage has to pass from battery through the one on fenderwall before the one on starter for symptom, try unplugging the small wire on fenderwall. If it still cranks,that relay is stuck, if it dont then look to junk ignition switch.

We all knew your gremlins are back. It will be six years before you can try to get rid of them again. lol

If both selonoids were unhooked and it still cranks, the one on the starter is stuck.

Low voltage can cause it to stick.

if your starter is old, replace. if it cranks with both of the solenoids unhooked, well then gremlins are definitely back! no whacking the starter with a hammer! hahaha

If both solenoids are disconnected then i would look at the solenoid on the starter.
If the solenoid on the fender isn't connected then that would take the ignition switch out of the equation.

Lmao, holy crap.


The first thing I'd do if I where you is get some battery kill switches!

The last thing you want is it trying to take off on you.

I would vote low voltage causing solenoid on the starter to stick open.

You need a Gremlin Bell. They will keep the gremlins away. it wards off these attacks from the little gremlins, not allowing any more to get onto your bike. If you already have some gremlins riding with you, they will get trapped in the hollow of the bell, and the constant ringing will drive them insane – causing them to lose their grip and fall to the roadway.
