My 82 Yamaha XJ 650 maxim cranks but won't start? ok so I go to my bike and turn the engine run switch to run. I turn the key and the neutral light comes on. when I press the start button the oil light comes on and I hear the starter cranking and sometimes the engine turns over for a few seconds while I am revving the gas but then it dies. what could be the issue? @

Check the wiring inside the headlight case--that's where the wiring for the bar controls are connected into the main wiring harness. Look for loose or corroded connections. Try to get the starter working correctly, then concentrate on getting the engine to run. No-run usually means either no fuel into the cylinders or no spark to ignite the fire. Make sure to keep the battery charged while running the starter for testing.

Make sure the battery is fully charged and the battery connections are free of corrosion and tight. A fully charged 12 volt battery should read at least 13.25 volts. Also check the fuses, making sure each one is not 'blown' and is making proper electrical contact in the fuse box.
If the above items are correct but it still won't crank over with the electric starter, locate the starter solenoid and - using a large screwdriver - carefully touch it across the two large cable connections on the top. If the starter spins over, then you've got a bad starter solenoid. If you've got voltage to the top of the solenoid and the starter still doesn't spin, then you've got either a bad starter motor or a bad electrical connection going to it.
Testimonial: "I did the screwdriver trick and it started to turnover (I've probably got a dead/dying battery too) and it looks like its the solenoid. Thanks!"

I am almost sure there is a relay that is tied into that starter system that cuts the headlight when starting, I think you have a loose connection somewhere, my advise is to get a schematic for that bike and start from there.

I've used www.tradebit.com. It's not free, but extremely reasonable. I've gotten them as cheap as $4.99, and the most I've spent is $20. They have tons of manuals, worht a look to see if your's is available.Good luck!
