Love u bro! I can fix my problem

This was my issue too thanks for the help!

Late to the party here but this was also my issue, only instead of sandpaper I just gave it a good scrub down with my shirt to clean the connections got em sparkly just fine, also the connection on the button side has a spring under it that's supposed to push the connection out so it has a solid connection, mine was gummed up but worked it free so it sprung out like it should, thank you for this video I would have been chasing ghosts if not for it, haha!

You are very thorough and I appreciate that you add tips and corrections along the way. I appreciate it.

yeah, what happens is the contacts get dirty, it overheats and it melts the plastic. Eventually melted plastic gets all over the contacts - plastic is not conductive. Whammo. It's dead.

You are a lifesaver . I did all the things that you did but, not removing the starter button assembly. Thanks a lot. This video will definitely save some headaches and avoid getting rip off at some shops. Regards to the family and always stay safe and healthy ✌️

Doesn’t work for me

Take note that the kill switch as above the spring loaded unit under cleaning and repair can also be an intermittent problem. While switched to on-run position, it can in fact be dirty or as not making contact. And, vexing to find as a no start prob|em. I have the view these units were of poor design. But as stock configure, I fit them as shown in this great post.

I’ve been using TH-cam for years and I have never commented on any video but this the exception, I bought my bike last Saturday may 30 2024 from a guy that said it only needed new battery and choke cable, I went bought new battery plug hook it to bike and surprise bike would not even start cranking with this exact same problem it would turn all lights on but no crank I was totally disappointed I thought I got ripped off but then I came to TH-cam looking for a solution and boom found this video this everything step by step and yes!!! I worked I got the bike running you save me money and time I can tell you have much I appreciate you making this video and by all the comments here I can tell many other found a solution as well 5 year since you uploaded this video and it’s still helping us riders!! THANK YOU

So I tried your fix and it still is just dimming the light but isn’t cranking, I parked it over winter in the garage and went to crank it and nothing the battery is good I tested it and checked all my fuses so I thought this was the issue. My contacts were dirty so I cleaned them and still nothing any suggestions????

helpful for sure,

Take some part cleaner and clean it up

It is not the flues

Mine does the same thing, only 2 weeks after I bought it, what a sh1t bike. Does not deserve it's reputation for reliability at all. My air cooled inline twins have never had any kind of problem, and they've been totally neglected. I bought a new rectifier, battery, and spark tester, maybe one of those will help me determine if it's something else in the electrical, one of the stupid safety kill switches, or a dead fuel pump.

My first guess was he didn't have enough leather hanging off the bar ends........But apparently I was wrong. My bad.

I just got the same problem, I’ll let know after I do the same if it worked for me

For reference, if _this_ switch is the problem, or you suspect it is, you can jump the starter relay with a screwdriver across the two big terminals. If the red stop/start switch is the problem, the screwdriver trick won't work, as you won't have spark either. That one was the problem on my VLX, the plastic housing the switch had cracked into two pieces. I was able to repair it (for now at least) with some PlastiWeld.

I’m having the same problem, has power but nothing else, my lights stay on, I had to push/jump start it to get it home

Great video! Very helpful. I'm guessing the oil inside the housing is dielectric grease. Thanks again.

Next on my list now, i tried replacing the starter and relay, still no start, thanks!

You sir are a gentleman and a scholar this video was of the utmost assistance in getting my bike on the road.

Thanks for the video, mines doing the same thing intermittently im going to try this

Fuggin love you bro. Thank you. ✌️

good information...much appreciated

Thanks so much fixed my problem. Cleaned the contacts put it together and nothing. Bent them up and boom works like new . Thanks brother .

Nice find

I spent a $150 eight years ago for a whole new switch assembly. So thanks for this. I was told by a Honda technical advisor that starting the bike with the headlight switch on high beam can overload the starter switch's tiny copper strip and can "melt" it as well. So it's best to start the bike with the headlight switch on low. Also, it is imperative to use dielectric grease on those switch contacts to keep the switch moving smoothly and to prevent salt, dirt and corrosion of the contacts.

Folks who have never heard of dielectric grease should probably take that as a sign that they arent quite actually at the "take my bike apart" phase at this time. You dont know what you don't know though i suppose....

Well done fella, great fix.

That was a great info video because right now I have a Lexus that is too low and scraped the back tire. I needed to find out how much they were because I wasn't getting any response from one of these auto store web sites. Thank you very much. My car is just down from years of loading heavy groceries in the trunk.

I lost the ball bearing under the button of my Honda 2003 VTX needed a new starter solenoid the contracts were burnt first time it ever failed to start. I push started it got home and found the fix on TH-cam.

I simply won't tip anymore because tipping has gone crazy, if you don't like your salary, I suggest you look for another job, sadly drivers will probably be replaced in 5 years or less by AI, along with many other jobs

I had a 2000 shadow ace do the same thing. Great video.

Do you know the size of those two screws ?

My headlight dosent even turn on when I try and switch it on , but the same thing happens the battery is legit 2 weeks new and when I press the switch all the lights are on and nothing happens

Thanks for the video....having the same problems. One thing i had happen before was one of the wires to the clutch safety switch had came off. Had same issues...this time they aren't off so into the switch i ho

My Aero is doing this exact thing. I changed my plugs and nothing. I took apart my kill switch but didn't know what to look for, and everything seemed ok. I'll give it a clean and see. Update soon...

Have the same problem but this didnt work :(

I'm heading back out to the shop right now. I was thinking solenoid relay. I have to try this first!

it’s funny how the other video i watched, a bee actually flew in the same spot during the video🤣🤣 what are the odds

It worked on my 2005 shadow spirit 750. So easy. Love it

You waste a lot of time

OMG So very helpful. Thank you Couldn't figure out how to secure the top tank until this video. You are a God send!

hey im trying to open up the part to get into that switch but one of the bolts are stripped any advice?

Thanks. You just helped my fix mine very quickly!

I will give you a tip, Walmarts kitchen surface cleaner with bleach. Pretreat but be careful because it will bleach it if left too long. Spray it on lightly then work it in with your fingers on the stain. Let it set a couple minutes then shampoo. It will take out stains that are almost black and set in deep.

oh omg thannnk you it worked.....
