2006 450er Starting Problem??? Electric start not workin!

[BUBBA Livesay]

Well i just redid my 06 450er. Frame up rebuild. Well i put a kicker kit in it and did away with my 24volt start system and went back to just a single battery and cut my wire harness too. well i got the bike back together and the electric start wouldnt work at all.
I can kick start the bike with no problems and it starts right up. Im just wantin to get the e start back workin.

I have checked battery voltage, its good.
when i turn the key on i dont here the solenoid clicking like it should. I checked the solenoid and it tested good. I followed the manuals instructions.

I have power to key switch, it tested good as well.

I have a Fly killswitch wired in as a start button and there is no power to it.

any one have any ideas??

Hey Tim i already tested everything with a test light and a multi meter. Im gettin power to the red wire with the bullet connector. Power is goin through the fuse and fuse is good.
I have power at the key with a test light. Its just like after the key it seems to be gone? Lol

I hate wiring!!

And Coker that may be one issue! haha and no i havent sent them in yet. Where do i send them in at?

if you dont have power to the black wire at the start button you missed something, here is a pic to help tell what you do or dont have. sounds like you removed a splice somewhere giving black power...
this is race cut er and you should keep all of these wires to run, but this shows 24volt that can just be removed by putting the first ground to block ground, and make sure you put the red wire on your positive battery side of your single battery

Check the ground wire that's bolted to the coil-may even be paint behind coil not letting it ground!

[DnB_racing]

this might help explain what i think your missing

also make sure that somehow there is a ground on the tors connector at the cdi ..notice how one of the carb or throttle safety wires to cdi is now grounded through the green splice

DNB you know your stuff! I took my wire harness off and took all the tape back off it and found that somehow the black wire coming from the start stop light switch cluster got cut up by the plug in. Ran me a wire down to the others and tied it in and wha la!! It starts!

I greatly appreciate your effort and the time it took to get them diagrams worked up and highlited in with the notes! They were just what i needed! Lookin at the service manual wasnt that easy! You hit the nail on the head!

Thanks You!!
Brent
