Hard Starting R75/5

Post by Jon Green »

Picked up a '73 R75/5 with a Dyna electronic ignition. I put in new gel battery, all connections to the battery and the Ground seems OK; I press the starter button, and sometimes the bike turns over, and sometimes not. When it doesn't, it is as if the bike is dead; it also seems to happen only when cold. My thought is that this is a starter solenoid issue- any ideas?

Not starter solenoid. Starter relay.
