Motorcycle Starter Motors and Relays for Honda Ascot 500

Getting the right components for your Honda motorcycle is important, but understanding how they work is even better. Here are some common questions other Ascot owners have asked about relays.

It is an electric mechanism activated by the starter relay. When it sends the signal, two magnetic fields interact to create rotational movement, which drives the motor to move the gear ring via the pinion gear to start your Honda.

Some common reasons are listed below:

• Fluid leaks from other parts of the bike can soak it and make it inoperable.
• It could be installed incorrectly — either fitted too tight or too loose.
• There could be misalignment of other parts or a broken gear that could damage it.
• Problems with current transfer can interfere with it as well, such as poor grounding, loose electrical connections, and melted terminals from cranking the engine too long.

A starter relay, also called the starter solenoid, is engaged every time you trigger the ignition switch in your bike. It reacts to a small current from the ignition and switches a larger current to the starter motor to set the engine in motion.

Here are some common symptoms that mean your solenoid needs replaced:

• It will not connect at all and there is no clicking sound to indicate the relay connection to the starter.
• A grinding noise caused by the starter staying engaged after it should have ceased operation.
• It is not working consistently or only working when the engine is cold.
• If there is a clicking sound and the starter is not working, your starter relay may be functioning but the motor or battery may be having a problem.

Many times problems with the solenoid are similar to problems with other components of the charging system. To ensure it is the main issue, you will need an electrical test light and you will need to go through the following steps:

• To test whether it is receiving current from the battery, connect the red lead of the test light to the positive terminal of the starter relay, which is located on the top. Make sure you hold this lead in place while you attach the black wire on the test light to a part of the body of the bike to ground the wire and complete the circuit. If the light comes on, the current is flowing correctly from the battery.
• To test whether it is transferring current to the starter, put the red wire of the test light on the negative terminal, which is the lower node. Be sure to keep the black wire grounded to the body of the Honda. Start the bike to test the connectivity.

If the light comes on, this means the starter relay is functioning properly. If the starter did not engage with the light on, your starter probably needs to be replaced. If the light doesnt come on, your relay is the problem and needs to be replaced.
