Hi all,
Went out to start my 1985 K100RS and the bike didn't catch immediately, not unusual when cold, but the starter did not disengage, kept chugging away. I turned the switch behind the starter button to off and it still was chugging. Turned the key off and it still was chugging away. Finally grabbed an allen wrench and disconnected the battery ground, which stopped it.
Is this most likely a stuck relay, which on my bike means a decent amount of work to simply get to as they are under the tank? Or is this a sprague clutch issue in the engine, or a stuck solenoid, or ??
It was pretty disconcerting. With the ignition switch turned off at least the fuel injection system was not pumping fuel.
Yeah, Happy New Year...
Steve
