After getting the 7 back together & checking all the wiring I was thinking wonder if it kicks over.
It didn't go to plan. ignition on, switch to run, hit the button & nothing.....I have checked the usual stuff fuses & connections
I did notice the starter relay was corroded at the plug but cleaned & lubed that.....still no go.
I have lights in the dash, indicators, horn ect. but no go.
Does anyone know what I have missed??

Clutch switch, side stand switch, neutral switch...?

Thanks Mick I was thinking about that last night but the bike was in neutral so it should not be an issue??

Unless the switch telling the bike it's in nuetral is broken...

the neutral light is on so I guess it's working.....

Does it have a clutch switch?
Is the starter solenoid making a clicking sound at all??
Tried jump starting it?
Try bridging the starter solenoid with a screw driver
Check earths.
Get the multimeters out and start following voltage along the starting circuit, have a look at a wiring diagram and test all switch etc etc.

I hate electrics lol but this is what I would be doing, not in order though, always start simple

Cheers Tim

I had the exact same problem Joe when I fitted the clutch MC I bought off you, I forgot to connect the clutch switch. :oops:

Bike was in neutral, I had a neutral light, clutch was pulled in just in case, battery was fully charged, but absolutely nothing when I hit the start button, not even a click at the starter solenoid. Hope this helps.

I checked the clutch switch hoping that it was the problem but it was pluged in & fine.
looks like I will be out there on the weekend with the multimeter. :twisted:

May sound funny but bypass / check the kill switch on the switch block ...... all electrics are on with the switch off
