Hi guys,
Just wanted to ask whether anyone is in Bristol and would be willing to lend a hand with some confusing electric problems?
I have a 91 L model zxr and am having an issue with the starter motor staying on after the push start button is pressed and released.
P.S. Cups of tea included

Re: Bristol electric problems
Sounds like the contacts are sticking. Get yourself a can of contact cleaner http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400ML-CARPLAN ... 4602d27f8a , split open the RH switchgear cluster so you can get at it and squirt. That should do it. Simples.

Re: Bristol electric problems
Sorry didnt leave enough info in the first post.
The switch has been tested and is not staying stuck on so thats one thing that does work. I have been investigating a little more and have narrowed the fault down to a couple of things so started eliminating components piece by piece. I removed the fuel pump relay and tried starting the bike. This seemed to have fixed the problem as now the motor only operates when the start button is depressed, however no fuel pump!!!!!
Going to have a look and see whether I can check the wiring and the fuel pump relay tomorrow as I think that it is the relay which is getting stuck on and delivering power to the starter motor.

Charlie
