Bypass Motorcycle Starter Solenoid with Push Button
Introduction
When your motorcycle's starter solenoid fails, you may find yourself stranded and unsure of how to get your bike started. Fortunately, there is a simple and effective way to bypass the starter solenoid using a push button.
Materials and Tools
To bypass the starter solenoid, you will need the following: * Push button switch * Wire connectors and electrical tape * Screwdriver or wrench * Voltmeter (optional)
Instructions
1. Disconnect the battery to ensure safety. 2. Locate the starter solenoid and identify the three terminals: positive, negative, and the terminal that connects to the starter motor. 3. Connect one end of the push button switch to the positive terminal and the other end to the terminal that connects to the starter motor. 4. Connect the negative terminal to ground. 5. Reconnect the battery. 6. Press the push button to start the motorcycle.
Testing the Bypass
To test the bypass, follow these steps: 1. Disconnect the battery again. 2. Use a voltmeter to check the voltage at the starter solenoid terminals. The positive terminal should have battery voltage, and the negative terminal should have ground. 3. Press the push button and check the voltage at the starter motor terminal. It should also have battery voltage.
Conclusion
Bypassing the starter solenoid with a push button is a quick and easy way to get your motorcycle started in the event of a failed solenoid. However, it is important to use caution and ensure that all connections are secure and insulated properly. This bypass should only be used as a temporary solution, and the starter solenoid should be replaced or repaired as soon as possible.
