Shoe

Fixed, nipped about 1 & 1/2 inch wire off, crimped new pigtails, and she started right up, lights, clock, the hole nine yards. Thanks for the input, gave me the confidence to inspect and fix.

Fort Pierce Florida. Got to get out and fix the XX this evening. She goes in the living room when wind and ran threaten. Need some horsepower to drive her up the makeshift ramp and through the front door.

Just got back from beach 86 degree water temp, Starter solenoid received USPS. Amazon Prime Member $7.59 total, free two day shipping. 9/4/17

Going into red capped portion there are a total of five wires, with two green/stripped wires going into the same port. total four ports under red section and 30 amp fuse. There are also two heavy duty thick wires that go to the black portion. One in and one out. this thick wire comes straight from the battery 7 inches or so of wire. when I disconnect this(starter relay) to bring to auto parts store the clock went blank. The(starter relay) should arrive today in the mail and I picked up heat shrink and connectors. might not have time to fiddle with it today.

The manual labels the parts as the starter relay switch (black) and the red as relay switch connector. got the starter relay switch from amazon, less than $8.00,says will arrive Monday, tougher time with relay switch connector and speedy deliver, will check out auto parts store I suppose.

I checked manual. it said listen for click at starter relay when key turned to start. No click for me, further inspection appears to show some melting, first tried to remove the red relay switch connector and couldn't, I think some corrosion or melting sorta welded the plastic together, you can see the plastic broke apart trying to separate. now the search for replacement parts. think I should need the red portion and the little black box it plugs into. any suggestions on my quest for parts. thanks for advice, you got me moving forward.

the fuses that are right behind battery location all seem to be fine.

My 1997 will not start or will lights come on. the clock is on and good. New battery reading 13.20. any ideas on some simple quick fix, before I utilize AAA, (Holiday weekend) Florida 52,000 miles, Great bike.
