Starting Issues 2000 M750 Carb

[Howie]

If you have a safety side stand that activates a relay, allowing the bike to start (assuming it hasn't been disabled).  That is your other relay under the seat I mentioned in my last post.  Same as the other, jump 30 and 87.

The switch on your 2000 might just activate a dash warning light.

Ok, so I have power going to the kill switch/start button. I tested the main relay and have power at 30 and 87, but if I try to jump 30 to 87 i get nothing. I am jumping them from the back side of the plug. While jumping do I need to then push the ignition button to see if I am getting anything? Today, I tested the side stand relay and I initially had power at 87 but not 30 I tried jumping this on from 87 to 30 and got nothing then when I tested again for power at the back of the plug while the relay is still plugged in I got no power at either 30/87? Suggestions, am I testing it wrong? I was thinking I will look into bypassing the side stand just to eliminate one variable? Thanks for all the help so far!


Update: So, I bypassed the side stand, crudely by jumping the connectors at the side stand plug, but got nothing but not sure if this even helps since the problems with current at the side stand relay mentioned above.

So, I am thinking of just replacing the Main and side stand relay. from what I have searched it looks like Napa AR634 should replace the side stand relay and AR274 or AR214 should replace the Main Relay. Does this sound right?

Thanks!

First off Howie, if our paths ever cross I owe you a beer. Not only from your posts in this thread but every other post you had in all the relay/starting issues/side-stand threads I read! So I went to Napa and got both a side stand relay and main relay. Replaced them and blew multiple fuse. Took everything in that area back apart and cleaned terminals and replaced everything and she turned over and blew no fuses. Switched out relays just to see if they were both bad. Turns out the side-stand relay was bad and the main relay intermittent. So put the new relays in and buttoned everything back up and hope to be test riding her tonight! Thanks for all the help and information provided.

Glad to hear you have the bike straightened out.
