Revival's Lead Mechanic Alec walks us through the quick process of testing your motorcycle's starter solenoid in a few easy steps with some basic skills and a little bit of know-how.
Sometimes your bike won't start, and you're left wondering what's going on. Maybe you hear a click, or the bike is cranking to no avail; either way, you know somethings off, and the starter solenoid could be the culprit. Luckily there aren't many components to the starter circuit, so this is an easy start once you know the basics. Although this process isn't exactly the same for every bike out there, we've learned over the years that the most challenging part is usually finding the starter solenoid; after that, it's a straightforward process anyone can do!
