Starter not working was created by 1slowkayzee
In the middle of trying to start the bike, the starter stopped working. I hear no clicks, moving parts, or anything at all. My battery is reading over 12volts. The solenoid and starter also both read 12v when I check with a multimeter. My bike is an electrical nightmare, and I am a newbie to this forum, please help.

Here's a good website for the twin engine Kawasaki motorcycles:
www.armbell.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=17...b1c7041&mforum=kz400
They have wiring diagrams and helpful people there too.

Thanks for the link, but I haven't found a solution yet. Will try testing the solenoid again...

Now all I have to fix is a 5500 rpm idle with dirty carbs, brake light issue, seat upholstery, finish gauge wiring, and I'm all set!
