Hi John, Beautiful day in New Jersey today and went for a long ride. Got home and the kill switch went screwy on me. I tried restarting the bike, lights, fuel pump, no cranks. Im no mechanic but your video was so easy to follow, I have confirmed that I have a bad solenoid, which I will get my replacement from Partzilla. I have an 04' VTX1800S1 and I've saved all your videos. Thanks! And I hope you will make some more!

My 2003 VTX 1800 has been sitting in my garage for over 1 year. I was fearful that the bike was going to be sold as "Not running" because I am not a mechanic and money is real scarce. I watched your video, replaced both 30a fuses, put a new battery and gas in the bike, and the !@#$ is now running! Thank you X 10. Now I have to clean and wax it, and of course get on the road.

I agree with the previous guy that this is EACTLY what I needed.Thank you so much for being so thorough and crystal clear about the process One weird footnote about my situation is that I’ve got a 1984V 65 magna that normally wasn’t having any problem except after the bike fell over and I finally got it standing up. It kind of started but ultimately just completely died and now I have no electrical. I’m not sure what the correlation can be from falling over and loss of electrical.

Not sure if an '84 would have a bank angle sensor, but the VTX in this video does. Its a mechanical switch with a rocker inside. When the bike leans past a certain degree (42.5° on the VTX in the video) the bike shuts off for safety. Sometimes that Bank angle sensor goes bad or gets fouled and the bike won't start. Likely not the issue in your '84, but I don't know much about the Magnas. I had an '83 Magna 750, but I honestly never worked on it before I sold it to buy the VTX1800.

Very nice presentation Brochacho!! My bike tried to leave me stranded yesterday and went completely out of electricity after I flipped the switch. I had no idea what to do so I went inside the side panels and started moving wires around and when I was about to give up I gave it one more shot and it came on so there must be a short or something. I got to work with it again today but it started sputtering just when I got to work so im hoping I get home. maybe those fuses were getting worn or may be oxidized who knows. when I figure it out I'll let you know.

very valuable information on starting issues. I actually had to deal with that problem on mine, except it was a physical problem. The starter button pushed in and broke, it didn't come back out, and it didn't start the bike. I didn't think to use the jumper, but luckily we were able to get the bike going because we were on a hill. Rolling start got it going. Wish I would have thought about the jumper wire though...LOL. So were you jumping from the actual red battery lead to the hot wire on the solenoid? it was hard to see with the hand placement, but it makes sense that it would work.

You don't need any tools to check a fuze. Just pull it out and you can see if it's blown or not. The starter relay is an easy fix, IF you are getting power to it, and it doesn't work, you can replace it with one from just about any small engine repair shop or automotive supply store. Other than that, it can also be the starter switch itself, which is another common problem when the bike gets older. They get corroded or can just plain wear out the connections.

Hey John, I'm working on the same bike I believe. 2005 Honda VTX 1800. I replaced the battery as well as the starter switch (kill switch & push start assy) .... When put my test light on the battery side of the solenoid (terminal) it lights up... When I put it on the starter side post it does not light up (not even when I hit the push start) ... However... when I put it on the yellow wire (starter side) and hit the push start that lights up... I cannot get the bike to start unless I run a screw driver across the solenoid. ** If I jump the wires it will NOT turn over... *** My guess is that it is in the solenoid but I am guessing at this point. Let me know what you think. Thanks, John Wheeler

I have a question 🙋🏽 about a switch start button that burned out while troubleshooting a 2003 buell blast 500 , it turns out that the throttle cable inside the assembly got out of the track and made contact with either start or killed switch connection inside. I found out their was a problems with the control switch because the ignition fuse 7.5a kept burning out. I placed a 10a fuse to prolonged it a little longer and again it popped the fuse, then I went up to 30a, at which point the kill start switch assembly started to smoke , I want to test them connection, your video helped me start that process later today. My question is, other then the wiring, could I have caused other parts of the systems to burn out or fail while fixing the problem? I am waiting on a replacement kill start switch along with starter reply and system reply to come in, I also purchased the main wiring harness too... Thank you for the great walk through on that last video I saw

Your video has been very helpful. Truefully, I wish I had watched it before spending money and time. My charging problem begin with a bad battery. So I purchased a new battery $107. The battery wasn't charging so I purchased a stator $159. System still not charging. Then I found your video and began testing. The stator ohms was giving me a reading of 001. The diode test was good. My rectifier was giving noting. So, I purchased a new rectifier $55 plus shipping $77 and it's testing good but my system is still not charging. Today, I ordered a diode three way assembly $10. What am I missing? My bike is a 2006 Honda 1300c VTX.

Sounds like you have covered most of the components. When your bike is running, what is the voltage at your battery? If it gets to this point, sometimes the easiest way is to start at one end and test the wires all the way down the system. Figure out where the break in voltage is.
@chuckbrodd9345

Very nice run through of these switch/relay checks. Thank you. One thing I would have wondered when the main fuse was blown is 'What caused the main fuse to blow?' Because that's my problem. The bike ('05 VTX1800) will start and run, but if I shut it off and turn the key back on and it blows the fuse you mentioned. If I wait a few hours I can start it again (with a new fuse in place), but if I shut it off and turn it back on - 'pop' goes the fuse again. When I ran across my blown fuse, I thought I was on easy street (just like in the video), but my issue was not solved with a simple fuse replacement. I don't really expect anyone to answer this. It's just another non-start issue that may arise. It probably isn't as easy to diagnose though. Any help would be much appreciated.

In my case today, 04 1300c, I had a similar experience where the bike wouldn't start. Battery good. I was able to get it started after a few attempts. I got it home and started measuring and checking. The headlight wasn't coming on with key on either. So finally, I just wiggled the start button sideways a bit and on came the headlight. I knew the switch was making poor contact. Tomorrow I plan to try to clean the start and the emergency kill switch with contact cleaner spray, if I can can get access to the internal switch contacts. I did the same thing with the turn signal switch several months ago.

Something else to consider. Check all your electrical plugs, fuses and connections. If something is loose or has corrosion, it will create a weak or inconsistent connection. Tighten everything down and make sure everything is plugged in tight. Swap out fuses for good measure.

Good guide. BUT this happened to me: The starter solenoid have 2 nuts for each pole. The upper nut is for securing the cables. But the nuts on the BOTTOM of the poles actually holds and aligns the connecting copper plates inside the solenoid. I once made an error and loosened the 2 BOTTOM nuts on the solenoid while installing a second horn. Without me realizing what had happened after installing the horn, the solenoid would "click/start" intermittently. The copper plates inside the solenoid had been misaligned and had made bad contact because I fiddled with the nuts on the outside securing them. After taking the solenoid apart there was melted copper, sooting and obvious faults. I replaced the solenoid WITHOUT touching the two bottom nuts. Just the upper 2 for the cables :)

great video . how easy is it to take apart the throttle cable on the start button, I just ordered it from you guys. I need to put in a new start button, kill switch.

It's not hard. The throttle cables just need a little slack to pop them out. You'll see once you crack it open.

I have a 01 Suzuki Intruder 1500. All of a sudden when I turn key on all lights turn on but fuel pump dont . Push start button nothing happens. Replaced starter relay twice . All 3 wire in the plug at top of relay are hot all the time with key on . Tested all safety switches (neutral, sidestand,clutch) and decomp switch and decomp relay and yhe relay behind fuse box they all seemed to test good . I tested on/off switch and start button both are good. I also have current all the way from start button through plug behind headlight then to the ecu when button is pushed . I don't know where to go from here?

I have a 2010 Honda Sabre CS1300. It has an issue starting, even with a new battery it will not crank over enough to start the motor. I have to use a battery charger hooked up to the tender cables to start the bike. I can ride the bike around for 10 minutes but after I turn it off it will not start again.....Your thoughts would be very much appreciated.

Does the 1300 have the same fuse location on the left side of the bike?

How about if your starter is turning and there is spark, but it still wouldn't start? I drained my battery trying to start my gl 1800. It stands for awhile and starts again. Buy this problrm keeps occurring. Checked the fuses they are good. Could selonoid do this?

Hello. My problem is, i put the key into the ignition, it turns half way but will not fully engage! Yes, it is the right key. i removed the seat and battery. Is there a kill switch on that?

Have a 2002 VTX Honda 1800 C with starter problems (won't start) - local dealership charged me just short of $400 to replace starter mag. and try to understand problem - could not fix problem. Can you suggest a great mechanic in the Saint Paul - Minneapolis, Minnesota area that can fix my starter problem with the knowledge of John C?

Could a stator be an issue of no power at all? I am troubleshooting I have no power. I've replaced the battery, starter solenoid, regulator rectifier, ground wires, checked all fuses and changed all fuses I have a 96 Honda CBR 600. I was driving I got to a red light and it just died. No power at all to lights
