Thanks for the video now I have a better understanding of my bike. I'm a 66 year old lady and find a little bit of knowledge is better than none. I have a 2000 Nomad carburetor with 55,000 miles. I will attest to the battery issues though. You really need to replace every 2 years. Only thing I've done was clutch plate work. I love my Vulcan.
You have given me hope. I found a Nomad that has been in a yard near the front porch -non running- for 18 months. I just may make the owner an offer to make that bike mine to worry over after seeing your success.
I'm impressed with your patience and being so thorough. I have an 06 Nomad, an excellent bike that is a lot of fun to ride. It's actually extremely reliable. Hope you enjoy
ian kimmel I appreciate that, but I should have figured this out a lot quicker. It’s funny how something that appears to be working was only partially working. It does seem to be a good bike....big and heavy but really comfortable.
I have the exact same model exact same color motorcycle but no electrical issues my bike runs absolutely wonderful but glad to see that we are Kawasaki Bros
Like any mechanical things, they can have issues. I did get it figured out and it was a great bike but I just didn’t have room for it, so passed it along to another rider. Enjoy your Nomad, see ya out there!
Tinkering with a yamaha royal star I have owned since 2003 and I have replaced fuel pump three times in the last year of working on it. Problem is the fuel pumps are Chinese made and they keep going out. New one over 500 so I have a used oem coming next week to try. Hate aftermarket unless u can’t find oem
Well congrats on that fix. I have a 07 Vulcan 900 D classic... Charging issues: replaced stator and regulator and battery. Will charge for a random period of time, then quit charging. All test through wiring show to be good. Connections are clean dry and tight. Baffled.
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures Actually if I remember correctly the advice and parts I got came from Ireland I forgot to mention that he also told me that kawasaki realized that part of the problem was the stator wasn't keeping cool because of the lack of oil flow so they upgraded the bolt design with a hole through the length of it and an upgraded stator also. Both had genuine kawasaki. labels.
I put a new aftermarket relay in but it started slow cranking after a week or two. I then found the main ground wire wasn't making good contact, after cleaning it up it has started fine ever since. However I think the relay went bad shortly thereafter and stuck open and the bike started popping and running crazy, pulled over and hit the kill switch then the ignition but the motor or starter kept turning. I pulled the seat off real fast and pulled the positive cable on the battery. When I touched the cable to the battery it started cranking again! Had to get towed, put the old relay back in and it starts fine, however it began backfiring and won't accelerate now. I'm changing spark plugs and injectors tomorrow, hope that works, if not it may be the fuel pump again, another aftermarket beauty.
That is Strange that's what I was thinking it was because you talked about it before the ignition switch wow now that is crazier you need to fix it Tom you can do it BUT yes it is crazy strange,, you are doing right by putting it out there for some advice probably somewhere crazy in your wiring to do with the charging BUT you've been looking through the wiring harness per say you'll figure it out..
I'm trying to get a bike going it was a late family members bike and he never really got it running right , I want to get his bike that is now my bike working and road worthy to finish what he started. Thanks
I have an '05 1600 Nomad that won't start. I tested the connections except for at the starter (very difficult to reach). The fuel pump comes on, and the relay gives me a solid clack when I test it. The starter will try to turn over the engine, and sometimes be successful, but it seems like it mostly won't engage the the flywheel or just clicks away at the relay. I hope I don't have a problem with the starter itself.
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures yes sir, I even remove the ground strap from the engine to the battery, and wire brushed both ends of that cable. I'm headed out to the storage unit now where I keep it, to do a bit more investigation and fiddling.
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures all right, I made a little video but I'm not sure how to share it so I'll describe it as briefly as possible. I got the bike to run, but only when the jumper cables were hooked up directly from my truck battery to the motorcycles battery posts. As soon as I pulled the negative off of the motorcycle battery, the motorcycle died. The multimeter showed 3.9V, so it's beyond dead.
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures I'm hesitant to go buy a new battery before I find out why it was discharged in the first place. I went on a ride in the fall, and it left me stranded at a gas station. I then put it away, and I'm only getting back to it now.
If the front cylinder injector is working, maybe try swapping the injectors first to see if that's the problem. If that doesn't fix it, start inspecting the wiring I guess.
Think I have the same issue, I have a Denson 056700-5260 relay on my bike. I bought one from Advance auto but it’s not same brand. Anyway it didn’t work, do you have the OEM part number?
Clean all of your connections as well, a little bit of corrosion will cause enough resistance to cause issues. I don't have the part number handy, but it's easy enough to find online parts diagrams and look it up.
I ordered a new relay from Denson and it didn’t fix problem. I put a meter on my battery while I was trying to start it and it only showed 10-11 volts, I’m guessing I need a new battery?
@@stacydolden8240 Maybe, it does take a pretty big draw trying to start these bikes. You can see if a local store can do a load test on the battery before you replace it.
@TomsTinkeringandAdventures I have a vulcan 1500 with no spark. And wait for new fuel pump to come and. I just got in the Hanes manual.. in so ill be checking this weekend..
I have the same problem. Good battery, charging 13.5 v. Starts with boost . Runs good but won't start again without a boost . I replace the relay with an aftermarket relay . Still won't turn over the moter . Seems to be the same as your nomad . Just starts sometimes . Any other ideas ?
I am having the same problems with my 2005 1600 NOMAD . I am going to get a big battery box and regular car battery and relocate the battery into the sidecar trunk.
OK, I have a 2001 1500cc Vulcan Nomad FI and bought a new battery, I turn the key on and i hear the fuel pump hiss but bike only starts if I jump it with a charger. IS it the starter relay/ solonoid. the DFI relay or I bought a bad new battery ( bought battery at dealership)? Where are the DFI and starter solonoid located on the bike?
If you understand how a relay works, you can easily test to see if it's energizing and then that it's completing the circuit that it charges. If you don't know how relays work, I'm certain that there is a TH-cam video out there that will help.
Salvador Rodriguez it’s called the DFI relay if I remember correctly. Anyplace you buy Kawasaki parts should be able to look it up and get it on order for you.
Thanks mate for the good clip I have the same bike it has been running for the past 8 months all of a sudden it went of whilst I was riding I started it started and ran again but it seems to have lost power
Hey! I have the same bike. I loved riding it until I hurt my back. I read the answer to your puzzle in the comments… I’m having my own electrical issues with mine. I wish / hope it’s as simple as a bad relay or blown fuse. I haven’t even gotten to diagnosing it yet. (All the shops are booked until next spring. :( ) what I want to know is, can you hook up an ODBII to this nomad? I would love to accelerate my understanding of my bike’s condition.
hey buddy it might be a little late for this but it's your starter relay that's bad mine did the same thing after I burn it up with trying to crank it without a battery but then about 3 weeks later it started working again but it started running like shit too and didn't have enough voltage to run the injectors and shit and the fuel pump so change out your starter relay and you'll be fine even though it cranks and you put the boost on it you still don't have enough voltage to your system to run that bike
Yes, that's exactly what it was as I found at the end of the video. I was working on this for a while.....was losing sleep and poring over the wiring diagram, about to order an ECU. Turned out to be quite easy and cheap to fix. Thanks for watching!
I exchanged the relay this week , No use it all . Also mecanic shall trying Pulse generator bcoz when I ride some kms and trying to start nxt day it doesnt work whtever 😮 Batt is 12.9.
I have the same motorcycle, I hope you can help me, my motorcycle starts perfectly, but after a few minutes it turns off and I have to wait and then it works normally for another few minutes.
Stuff like that is sometimes difficult to troubleshoot. Might be something electrical that gets hot and shorts out? I would start with seeing if it has spark after it quits. If it doesn’t, you can narrow it down to ignition. If it does, maybe the fuel side of things is stopping when it gets warm? Good luck.
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures i already changed the fuel pump, coils, cables and spark plugs. Today I'm going to check if it have spark after it quits. I'm going to tell you what happened.

Get a factory manual, take your time and you can get it done.
Ignition switch and possibly battery and rectifier
I had considered ignition switch, it has a resistor in it to prevent hot wiring. But the answer is at the end of the video.

I'm going to go at the relays and hand over hand the wire harness it will take me some time thank you again I will update you when I figure something out. I have been reading your post past and present you're doing a good thing thank you very much
John Stetkewicz good luck. It just takes time and patience to troubleshoot wiring.
nO, IM not that MAD!!
