GS 650 L no juice to starter

[Guest]

I have a gs 650 l that i am trying to get running again and i cant seem to get any juice to the starter when i turn the key on i have power to all lights and signals but nothing else i cleaned the starter button switch and the clutch switch contacts and ground wires and wires on solenoid. This bike has been sitting in a garage since 2005 any ideas.

The next step is to check power to the solenoid. Is one terminal seeing 12V and the other not? If so, try jumping across one terminal to the other to see if the starter activates.

NO clicking? might be kill switch, clutch switch or maybe starter solenoid has lost its ground connection (mounting frame needs to be grounded). A small green/yellow wire from starter button energizes the solenoid. Basscliff's site has readable wiring diagram. Use multimeter to see if this wire has 12 volts positive when starter button is pressed. Personally, I'd bypass the clutch switch- it's a weak point.
