Norge SI & Starter relay location?

(1/8) > >>

brider:
I know, "search" is your friend, but in this case I have not run across the previous thread that shows a Norge wiring diagram that SHOWS the starter relay itself. I'm not a wiring genius, but my Cal 2 wiring diagram clearly shows the starter relay and my years-old sketching shows where I severed the power from the fuse (brown wire) to the relay and replaced it with a fused wire directly from the battery. I ASSUME this is all that is needed for the Norge SI fix? And before I begin pulling plastic panels, is the Norge starter relay hidden behind the starter cover?

Naturally, I waited until you can see your breath in the garage before investigating this known problem.

Huzo:
I did the SI fix on my Norge in 2016 or ‘17.
It failed out the front of the Collosseum in Rome of all places…! But anyway, I think from memory it’s the yellow wire that you disconnect at the plug, then run the heavy gauge fused wire from the battery.
That’ll need confirmation though.

brider:
Thanks, Huzo, I think I remember one of your posts (of the bazillion on this subject) that broke down the solution to that single jumper wire from the batt (+) to the relay (yellow wire?).

I've only had the bike since August and haven't had cause to pull side panels yet, so to get the starter cover off, it looks like I need to pull off the shifter, then the large silver sculpted structural plate that mounts both sets of footpegs? Anything else? Seems odd that footpegs would be mounted to a sidepanel that has to be removed, but I've never owned a CARC before....

The plastic cover over the starter comes off by the removal of the three small fixing bolts, but it does not need to come off for the startus fix.
It’s a matter of finding the yellow (?) wire that feeds the terminal block on the right side, remove that wire and seal it off.
Then feed the good sized fused wire into there. It’s been 7 years since I did mine, but if memory serves, that’s the go.
Also to get the side panel(s) off, you only need to remove the small fixing screw at the rear end of the panel.
The lower front corner has a spigot that pops into a rubber fitting and the top front hooks under the tank.


Remove the seat and you will see the fixing screws at the rear of each panel. The order is.
#1 Undo the screw.
#2 Pop the spigot from the rubber fitting at the front bottom corner.
#3 THEN…unhook the top front corner.
When re attaching the panel, put a bit of rubber grease on the spigot and if you have none… Suck it…! :undecided:
If it’s dry, it won’t fit smoothly into the rubber ring.
If you have any trouble, I will shoot a short video and post it.

brider:
Got it, Huzo, that's going to save me some time and un-necessary removals.

Why doesn't my bike have one of those slick wheel-spray fenders on the front of the wheel, attached to the swingarm, like I see in your photo?
