What am I missing?!?! 78 750B3
22 May 2023 06:24
Howdy y'all. This weekend I started to install all the lights and other electrical components on my 750. When I turn the key to ON, the headlight, tail light, and idiot (warning lights) all turn on. When I try to hit to starter button, nothing. I've chased the wires and the only place I DO NOT have power is the starter button/right controls. Mine is equipped with a starter lockout switch and its good. I've even bypassed it with a jumper, still nothing. What am I missing? Is my starter relay bad? The right controls? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Wookie.
So I do not have voltage at the Red/Yellow wire but 12v at the brown. Also, no voltage at the lock out switch.

22 May 2023 11:48OK take a piece of wire (ideally with a 10amp fuse in it) and with everything still connected bridge the brown to the red/yellow at the plug for the handlebar switch. If everything now works as it should including the lock-out switch then your "kill switch" is badThanks Wookie.

Woohoo! Kill switch is bad!!! Had to try it a few times because I wasn't getting a good connection with the jumper. Thanks for the help.

Happy to help, we like the easy wins when they come. Thanks for confirming the result (often people don't bother once they have the answer they were looking for)
