R80G/S Starter randomly engaging
Hi Folks,
My '81 R80G/S is experiencing a peculiar problem - the starter solenoid is being activated at random times while the bike us running, and once it even kept trying to start even after I hit the kill switch and turned the ignition key off. Unplugging the lead to the solenoid stops the starter from engaging, so the starter itself can be ruled out.
After studying a wire diagram of the bike, my first guess would be that the starter relay is perhaps faulty. Is this a possibility?
I've been blessed with not a single electrical problem on any of my bikes ever, so diagnosing this is going to take me a while. I should note that I did check the starter button itself to make sure it wasn't engaging, and it seems to be fine, I can't possibly imagine how that could be the problem.
Thanks,
Wright
