: i have an 82 maxim xj650 with 2 problems... sometimes the starter
: switch won't work but touching the solenoid might start her up. if
: tapping the solenoid doesn't work (it'll go wa na na na and try to
: turn over)i have to let her sit for about an hour and then she'll
: fire right up. problem two: sometimes my bike will abruptly die,
: either on rides over two hours or when i put the rpms above 6500.
: she just sputters and shuts off and wont start for an hour, going
: back to the problem above. I'm pretty sure i have to replace the
: solenoid, but would that solve the problem of the bike shutting
: down? any help would be greatly appreciated.
