Hey guys I have an 82 kz550 ltd and I did my own wiring cuz the old wiring I wasn't getting any power to the lights or the starter, I did a bare bone wiring on it and now the lights work but when I push the start button I'll hear a click and the lights well turn off, checked the fuses and they were good, reconnect the battery and the lights well turn on but when I push the start button it well do it all again any help? This is the diagram I used

Should be something near 13 volts if it's fully charged.

Batteries can test good but no amps behind it.

I agree on the battery being the most likely suspect.

Did you try to jump the solenoid to get the motor to crank?
