Finally got it running...

But, I couldn't do it with the starter button. I just hot-wired (briefly of course) the red/white bigger wire to the starter and it sprang to life. Amazing how quiet it is when the exhaust flange is intact. Anyway, I can't get the starter button to activate the bike. I took it all apart but it won't fire. Maybe the relay is bad? Can I get one at an autoparts or is it to the dealer I go?

You are pulling in on the brake handles when you hit the starter button, right? There are switches in the grips that keep the starting from working without brake apply.

Seems to me Jerry went through what to check in the harness if the starter isn't turning. If someone can find it I'll post it over to tech docs.

Yeah, the brakes are on automatically because I don't have the cable on yet for the rear and as such, the brake is always "on."

Was that starter post on this board?

Yes. Do a search.

the buttons to activate the starter are in the brake handles. pull the brake handle anyway and while u are still holding it in hit the button.
