Hey guys,
I have a 916 I am trying to get running. The bike would crank just fine and fire periodically. New plugs, oil, filter, and gas. I kept cranking the bike (10 or 15 seconds) to see if I could get her to fire and run. The bike stopped cranking and I noticed a little smoke by the solenoid, which I believe was from the hot battery wire touching plastic. Battery light on on the dash. Got a battery from a different bike, replaced the solenoid and bike would crank for a split second (clutch spins a few inches). Starter doesn't do anything after. Is the starter toast?
