76 R90/6 Not Starting
76 R90/6 Not Starting
I have checked to make sure that there aren't any loose connections, and everything seems to be fine. The battery is new this season and is fully charged. Still nothing when I push the start button. I even tried engaging the clutch wondering if I had it in gear. Nothing.
I typically use the search feature of this forum to help me when issues arise. I wasn't able to find anything this time so I'm reaching out for advice.
Thanks,
Jerry

Re: 76 R90/6 Not Starting
Welcome to the forum! Be sure and check the easy stuff...check the kill switch position. Also be sure that the battery ground is good as well as the other battery connections.
After that, I'd track down the starter relay...should be a black 1" cube on the left side of the frame under the tank. If the terminals get corroded over time, something like this could happen. Pull the cube up and replug...do this a few times and that will help scrape the terminals clean.
Let us know how it goes.

Fast. Neat. Average. Friendly. Good. Good.

As Kurt says, the connections could just be dirty and cleaning them will do the trick. Relays are available at different vendors online as well as BMW dealerships.
Good luck, let us know what you find out. St.
