I have a 1990 K100RS that does work (I rode it up from Leicester) but the battery etc were loose and the Motronic Unit upside down so I was fixing all of that when I could not get it to restart.
I was checking that there was a spark at the plugs (following the instrructions in my Clymer Manual to remove and ground a spark plug) when the starter stopped turning, strange clicking sounds emanated from the relay area and everything went dead except for the clock.
When the ignition is on I get intermittant clicks from the starter relay for the first few seconds. The lights do not work, the panel lights are not working nor are any of the dials/warning lights.
The portal instructions say that I can test the starter relay by connecting a meter across two terminals - but there are 4. 2 are screwed down and 2 are plugged in.
I seem to be going backwards from trying to sort out a simple problem so would like to take advice from an expert(s)
Many thanks
