A few months I tried fixing the electric start on my bike and after hours of frustration with the wiring I just made a bypass of the solenoid (one wire on one side of the solenoid and the other on the other side of the solenoid) and put a push button on the console. I put a battery in and fully expected to be having to charge it throughout the summer to get the battery back up but it doesn't seem to be dieing. I have no idea how it can possibly be charging. The main fuse is blown. I've even used my winch a few times and the bettery is still showing full charge. Does anyone know how the charging system works on this unit (85 250 big red)? The 2 small wires coming out of the solenoid aren't even hooked up to anything anymore. It doesn't charge back through the main solenoid wire does it?
