It's not the battery. I had a cb550sc (loved it) and that was not a low battery symptom. McGuyver may be right. The starter is easy to replace if you can get one, but the clutch and drive I tbink is a big job.
First charge up the battery and have it 'load-tested' at a Shop, a weak battery will not fully engage the starter motor. Try that first and if a no-go repost your question.
If the battery is good, then you have either a sticking starter clutch, or a broken starter chain. The chain drives the generator via a one way clutch. Push start the bike, then check to see if its charging, either with a volt meter, or watch the headlight as you rev the engine. If it's not charging, the chain is broken.
- My 1983 Honda nighthawk 650 won't start with the electric start? I recently replaced the ignition coils because the old ones were getting heat soaked and the bike would die, however now the bike won't start with the electric start it turns over fin and the starter sounds fine but it won't start occasionally it ll start when it's cold or try to but I've been having to bump start it in order to ride it. So what's making it do this? Could it be the kill switch? Or something else?
- Motorcycle starter over heated starter and only the solenoid clicked so i rebuilt the starter n tested it with a battery n it worked fine? Put it back in bike and again only the solenoid clicks… Is there a fuse for the starter or a relay i may have blown? 1988 honda hurricaine 1000F i'm ready to hang it up but the bike runs so good when it runs. i ran out of gas n kept trying to start it till battery was dead and that is how it got this way. Please and thank-you starter works fine when hooked up to a battery off the bike. what gives?
- How to remove the baffle from a 1983 honda cb650sc nighthawk? I recently bought a 1983 honda cb650sc nighthawk and I can't figure out how to remove the baffle from the stock exhaust. Any help would be appreciated
- I have a Honda GSV 190 mower engine with a broken starter rope and stud stuck in starter that I can't remove. Any ideas would be great When removing the nuts holding the recoil starter in place the nut on the front of the starter is stuck. When I try to remove it the whole stud come out of the engine. Leaving the engine cover stuck to the starter preventing me from replacing the rope. I have tried everything I can think of to remove it with no luck. Heres what it looks like. http://www.ereplacementparts.com/bolt-stud-h425mm-p-554740.html
