Howdy yall ! New here not so new to 200e big reds . I bought an 83 200e big red several years back and never had a problem until recently . First the starter button wouldnt work and the lights wouldnt come on . So.... i changed the starter solenoid . Still nothing ! Figured it was the left hand controls and an ignition switch ( didnt have a key to begin with ) all after market . Hooked it all up and still nothing ! Im lost and need help . Thanks in advance
Sounds like the ignition switch. Can you get a picture of it? Check for power coming into it and out. Also, make sure your fuse on the red wire is good.
I had a issue with a red wire in my headlight housing came disconnected, the neutral and reverse lights would not come on or the headlight. The bullet style connector was loose and as I tried to close it back together it broke. I just installed a new heat shrinking bullet connector and everything was back to working. The electric start would not work as well until I replaced the connectors.
