WR125X Help

[Wr125Help]

hello everyone,

so yesterday I tried to start my bike and it was stuttering and struggling to start, the front light, neutral light etc all came on, but when holding the start button they would go extremely dim..

After trying the start button a few times it eventually gave nothing back, completely silent apart from a single click every time it’s pressed which is coming from the fuses.

Currently am charging the battery but it seems to be fully charged already and still no luck starting the bike

Try a good battery or jump leads to a good battery.
That clicking will be the heavy duty starter motor switch operated by the start push button.
Have you a digital multi-meter or do you know an electrician friend?

[Wr125Help]

I have used a multi meter on the battery and it was showing the correct voltage, would you still recommend to use jump leads to a good battery?

Good you have a multimeter, so what is the battery reading before starting? When pressing the start button?
Also are the battery connections to the bike ok?

As my last question, note that the starter motor takes more current than all the other bike electrics.

Bump starting the bike takes little current, also as my last posts.
You have come on here for advice so use it.

I would say battery is fucked, but theres an outside chance the starter motor is fucked

Have you bypassed the solenoid with a spanner?

The fact that the charger says it wont take any more charge doesnt mean the battery is fine.

It's possible for the battery to seem okay and then totally flake out under load.

Your battery is fucked. To confirm either borrow a battery or jump it from another vehicle.

Edit: did it even turn over?

You wouldn't get a click if you were bypassing the solenoid

Ignition on, screwdriver between the two big terminals on the solenoid.

The click is a relay being activated. The solenoid is a relay. By bypassing it you aren't activating it.

The whole point is you are bypassing the start button.

Bypassing the solenoid means spinning the starter directly from the battery. You dont need to touch the start button. It should be a bit sparky.

Check the wires from the battery and the solenoid, solenoid to starter and main earth strap from the engine.
