In this video, we can see how to solve the problem of a motorcycle that won't start, and the starter button shows no signs of life. First, let's check that the battery is in good condition; it should have at least 12 volts. We also need to check the functionality of the solenoid, more precisely the electromagnet inside. We can easily test it by removing it and connecting it to one of the battery terminals. If it is working, it will make a very audible "click", or with a tester, of course. We then need to test the functionality of the switch. Remember that the motorcycle must be in neutral to start, and don't forget about the position of the kickstand, and also to pull the clutch.
