a shop manual and an ohm meter, one wire at a time will yield results.Don't be skeered jump into it.One thing I've seen was the starter button corroded from being washed too much and never air dried.My neighbors bike.Can't say how much he spend at the screwball dealer that he thought was God. We sat done for 1-1/2 hrs and found the problem.You can bypass that with a jumper lead.Good simple explanation on the ohm meter piasspj.G.
