Title: SOLVED-Monster 696 Will Not Crank or Turn Over Post by: csesto on September 02, 2023, 09:50:48 AM Greetings all. I have a 2009 Monster 696 that suddenly will not turn over or start. The battery is only a few months old (dealer installed AGM) and it's on a battery tender. When I switch on the ignition the head lights are strong bright, the display lights up appropriately after doing its diagnostics and so on. When I hit the starter button NOTHING. No Click, no nothing.
The side stand was up, bike is in neutral, clutch pulled in. Just for the hell of it, I tried all kinds of combinations of the previous sentence with no success. Yes, the kill switch on the right is ON. :) I traced the side stand wiring up and unplugged it. No change. I jumped across the two wires in that harness to bypass the side stand circuit. No change. Are there any more safety switches that could be causing this? Should jumping those 2 wires in the side stand wiring bypass that safety? Anyone have some insight on what I can check next? There were no CODE issues on the display after turning on the ignition. Thanks.

Title: Re: Monster 696 Will Not Crank or Turn Over Post by: koko64 on September 02, 2023, 12:28:46 PM After checking the trigger wire you can carefully bridge the two cables posts on the solenoid with an old wrench. Carefully. If it cranks then you'll know. An old 10 or 8mm wrench wrapped in insulation tape for protection bar the contact point at one end should do it.

Pulled off the tank and checked the start solenoid. 12 volts one side, nothing on the other. The small gauge wires in that connector had zero volts when start button was depressed. Took starter button/kill switch assembly for inspection. No apparent issue. I traced that wiring harness down, thru the triple clamps into the right side of the frame under the tank. The connector became loose and unplugged itself. It is now good to go. Thanks all for the tips. ;D
