Re: Clicking sound on starter solenoid

Yes, all of the other indicators lights work as it should. I forgot to say that this bike has no front turn signals. The original flasher relay did the same thing. That's why I took it out in the first time. I lost it and had to get the Enduralast. I'll deal with this next weekend.

Re: Clicking sound on starter solenoid

Thank you. That's exactly what I was thinking to do. I'll report back.

Re: Clicking sound on starter solenoid

Thanks guys but as I said, the relay is new and is the Enduralast that Euromotoelectrics sells. Now that I note, the description of the relay in this site says as follows: "NOTE: The relay has a "bulb out feature" which means that when one of your bulbs is burned out (or you have a ba...

Re: Clicking sound on starter solenoid

The turn signal relay is new as I lost the old one when I first checked this. The bulb is also new. The light turns on initially when I push the turn signal switch. It flashes once and then goes out completely.

Re: Clicking sound on starter solenoid

Thank guys. I went all the way and took off the starter solenoid and clean all the electrical connections. There was a lot of corrosion and even a loose cable. I rode the bike today and she started every time. Sometimes its the simplest thing. Now I'm just left to check the front brake sensor, adjus...

Clicking sound on starter solenoid

Hi to all, I recently bought a 1976 R60/6. The bike runs well and from cold, she starts well. However, after warming, say, a ride of 20 or more miles, if I turn the engine off it would not start when I try to. All I hear is a clicking noise from the solenoid. I have clean the connections at the righ...

Re: Tranny oil leaking through transmission vent screw

Thats what I meant. I was able to sync them with the carb tune after I readjusted the valves. She is running very smoothly now. The side to side rocking at idle is gone and the miles per gallon range is now at approximately 45 miles.

Re: Tranny oil leaking through transmission vent screw

Not normal. So you found the carbs not synched....what did you see to make that decision? Seems like if you find them not synched, you should work to correct that. Three regions for synching 1) idle mixture, 2) idle RPM, and 3) throttle cable tension. All should be done with a fully warmed up engin...

Re: Tranny oil leaking through transmission vent screw

Guys, the bike is running great and idles very stable. No vibration at speed and no strange noises. However, on idle she shakes from side to side. She’s been doing this since I bought her but out of curiosity I connected my carb tune and found that carbs are not synced. The readings are very differe...

No it doesn’t look milky but the boot wasn’t installed properly. She in good condition though.
