What Causes a Motorcycle's Electrical Circuit to Fail and Prevent Starting?
1 Answers
Motorcycle's electrical circuit failure preventing startup is caused by poor contact between the battery's electrode posts and the connecting clamps. Causes of circuit failure: Poor contact between the battery's electrode posts and the connecting clamps prevents the generator from effectively recharging the battery. With the battery nearly depleted and the electrode posts already having poor contact, the result is a complete loss of electrical power in the vehicle. Solutions: Disassemble the conductive posts, use fine sandpaper to polish any corroded contact points. Remove the ignition switch connecting wires and directly twist-connect them to test. If the issue is resolved, it indicates the power lock needs replacement.
