Good to know that the main hood harness wouldn’t have shut off the starter. What’s your thought on key switch causing the starter not to turn off

I bought one from AC, Yamaha was out of stock with no promise date. Yamaha parts support is very poor now

Previous owner just told me he replaced the starter solenoid less then a year ago, so I’m thinking the key switch

Went to start 17 winder and it didn’t start so I turned the key off to try another start cycle, but the starter kept running, key was turned to off with no effect, hit kill switch with no effect, ended up having to unhooked battery in a quick hurry. After the fact I should have dropped the left...

Thanks got them switched, thanks for everyone’s help

Got the wires changed, thanks so much for all your help, used a sewing needle and it worked great.

Need to release these wires from this connector so I can swap them. Appreciate any help, thanks Rob

Your talking the fly wheel that surrounds the stator? You have any tips on getting the wires to release in the pick up coil plug?

Thanks for your input, I’ll try to change the pick up coil wires tomorrow. The pick up coil is a separate plug with 2 wires correct?

Not original owner, no clue if engine was ever turned backwards. Are you thinking that the timing is off based on it being hard to start? I hoping the hard starting was due to starter issues. Will know more once new parts arrive

No I haven’t yet, planning to do this week along with new starter and idler gear

Large tube from airbox, hard starting may indicate valves need adjusting, trying to wait out season. I know not to turn engine backwards, runs great once running

I also found the rear tube/hose that attaches to the back side of the turbo was loose, tightened it and was wondering if this was the cause of the hard starting issues or was causing a lower then normal idle rpm’s

Update, started hard, once warm it stalled. Went to restart and it was making a grinding noise. Removed starter and it was locked up and the o-ring nose on starter had broken off Removed stator cover and found the idler gear had some teeth ground off. Have a new idler gear and starter on order...

Could been replaced, your right it runs fine when running, just not real positive about starting. Thanks for your input

Sounds like I need to do this, I think he did change the pu coil. Thanks for your input

You might be on to something, he said he put in a aftermarket stator, where is the best place to get an oem stator? Thanks for your input

So your right on what the prior owner was saying, Guy I bought from was saying the valves will need to be adjusted, hoping to ride still and adj valves when season is done. Im thinking battery is fading so I’m picking up new one today. Thanks a lot for your input,
