I made the link pipe and got the length and angle more or less right first time.It runs at the same angle as the bottom frame rails.

Started the gs today,but s**t hit the fan by a possible mistake by myself.Did all the fuel lines and put some petrol in the tank. Then when I was fitting the battery,I was struggling to connect the positive terminal to the battery threaded lug.So what I did.....and still cant believe I did it....was try and lift the lug with a screwdriver. The screwdriver touched the frame and arced up for a split second.
Anyway,I managed to fit the terminal and managed to start the bike.It took a few prods of the button to get it going and everything seemed ok.After a couple of minutes running I was easing the choke lever off slowly when it just cut out.When I tried to start it again it was having none of it.The starter motor was going but it seemed a bit to slow to fire it back up.So I took the battery off and gave it a charge up.When I refitted the battery and tried it again,there was nothing.
The gs has only 1 20amp fuse which is located on the solenoid. I changed that and still nothing.No clicking or anything at all from the starter or solenoid.There is power to the loom,as the back light is wired up and works when activated.Did I balls up the solenoid when the battery arced up on the frame? Any ideas anybody? By the way,the engine was a little lumpy but it has been standing a while,but there was no rattling or knocking.

Cheers. Dont know much about lecctrix but it just seemed odd that it started,then got nothing at all once it cut out. And by that I mean electrically. I wonder if it will start with a bump start?

I dont think theres anything wrong with the battery,as its brand new.Its like the supply is not getting to the solenoid. Not being electrically minded either doesnt help. Might just hit it with the sledge hammer and see what happens.Got me stumped.

my FREIND once swore for hours after pushing HIS bike up and down the road cursing the battery with no joy of starting put it back in the shed, afew days later HE went to have a look at it and the kill switch was off  trying to bump it or crossing the solinoid would give you a bit more info as to if there was power going to the starter and sol |
