[QUOTE="philter, post: 1416634, member: 88731"] FJR starter relays are a dime a dozen on Ebay. If you change it once and it takes you an hour {it's right behind the battery on the right side, at least on my FJR} you can do it in 30 minutes the next time. I have two, I can send the best one for 5 dollars shipping. I know that none of this explains WHY. but it sure cut's out that bill from the dealer. LOL P. S. if you take off the battery covers and aren't a dweeb, you can SHORT across the two main copper terminals with a wire or a pair of needlenose and the starter should turn over. {there will be sparks, LOL} If it does, and you feel froggy, you can run a jumper from the ground side of the battery to the red/white wire on top of the relay {with the key on} and that should ALSO activate the starter. IF THAT works there is no problem with your relay, I think. Ray, or anyone else, jump in here if I am telling him something that will ruin something. LOL Please don't jump in, if you just think it's not smart to work on your own bike. LOL [/QUOTE]
