Hello! I bought a XS400 Not to long ago. One day riding home it died then the electrical starter wouldn't crank the engine. The starter solenoid would just start clicking like mad and super fast if i held the start button down. I replaced the starter because it seriously smelled like something burnt up inside. and then when i took it apart it look like something burnt up. not sure what.
So, i got the new rebuilt starter, put it in, i heard the engine barely crank really fast then the solenoid starts clicking like mad no matter how long or short i press the starter button. I read other threads where the clicking noise just means its fine and working. I even charged the battery on 1 amp intill fully charged and still clicked like mad.
I'm very very stumped and have no clue what to look for.
I'm more familar with car mechanics than bike mechanics. so, its kind of similar but at the same time not. can anyone help? :wtf
I've seriously felt like just dropping it off at a junkyard today. haven't had the thing no more than 2 weeks and it started this...
