Hi team,
I have a 95 DR650.
Its blown about 4 starter solenoids now.
I had it into Coleman’s but they said they thought it was dodgy connections and an aftermarket solenoid. They replaced the connections and attached a Suzuki branded solenoid which was supposed to be higher rated than the job required.
The starter solenoid has now blown the 4th unit.
I therefore have the following questions:
1) Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? (Thanks for the help in the other thread)
2) Is there any reason why I shouldn’t keep jumping the poles of the solenoid to start the bike? Pretty over paying out when the issue probably won’t get found anyway.
Cheers,
