CB500/550 / Starter solenoid
« on: May 25, 2024, 08:33:50 PM »
Hi all. I've been having problems with my starter solenoid. The ignition sometimes doesn't light up until I give the solenoid a tap. Once I've tap it a couple of times the ignition lights up and off I go. Today the bike cut out and I had to get off and rattle it to get going again. I thought the solenoid was just a switch to get the starter spinning. Any thoughts on why this affects the ignition?
