I have a 2004 Yamaha XVS650 that won't start or even crank. I just replaced the pickup coil and stator, and it started right up. Let it run for about 15 minutes since it had been sitting for a while, then shut it off. Then when I went to press the start switch, nothing happened. No crank at all, no noise from the starter motor. Any ideas? @
Vstar 650 are pretty simple as far as the starting circuit.. as mentioned above make sure the battery is up to par.. charged doesnt mean anything. Take a voltage load test and make sure the battery is atleast 10 volts dc when the start button is pressed. If you hear a clicking sound when the start button is pressed that's a dead giveaway the battery is weak. If you hear nothing which I'm suspecting. Make sure obviously bike is in neutral. Clutch is in and side stand is up... the vstar has 3 main safety switches.. neutral/side stand switch and clutch safety switch.. both the side stand and clutch safety switches can be bypassed... two wire under clutch lever and two wire on side stand that can be followed up to just under the seat.. placing a paperclip between the electricle connector eliminates the switch and makes the bike think either the side stand is up or the clutch is in.. which gives you an answer if the bike turns over you have a faulty switch........... lastly if those pan out as not changing the no start condition. I have personally found corrosion inside the start button and kill switch which causes the starter solenoid to not even see a signal.. pull apart the switch carefully, mind you and clean the brass contacts with some scotch brite or light sand paper to clean em up.. dont forget some light dialectic grease... if it is still fighting you dont take the easy approach and just replace the starter solenoid. But make sure your getting a signal at the solenoid when the start button is pressed. Little patience and you'll get it

when it wont crank, you will need a test lite to ck the small wire at starter for a 12 volt signal when commanded to start by the key. also make sure there is 12 volts from battery going to larger wire on starter. if so and still wont crank, starter replacement is probable. (assuming grounds are clean) they can be very intermittent. another quick test would be while trying to start, holding key in start position, rap lightly on starter with hammer to see if it kicks, if so, replace starter.

Sounds more like an electrical problem.First I'd check the battery voltage, should be at least 13. It shouldn't drop much below 11 when you crank the engine and it should bounce back when you stop. Make sure your connections are good especially to the coil,wires aren't frayed or loose on connectors. There should be a ground from the body to the motor. Is it still thereand making good contact? If I'm not mistaken the coil should ground to the motor, make sure it has good contact as well. Also double check your connections at the starter to make sure they are clean and tight. Loose connections can draw extra power and could draw enough extra power to kill the coil. Hope this helps.

dont go by looks on the plugs replace them yes there is a key but i dought it sheared change pugs first then let me know and i will hep u diagnose it

I would follow the fuel line all the way check the filter it should be inline and check the pump as well i would say its one of them two.
