Dreaded No Start fixed (hopefully...) - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

I'm no expert, but I think the basic problem is too many places for a voltage drop before the 12V reaches the starter solenoid. The soleniod won't energize unless everthing is in perfect working condition (battery, connections, clutch switch, relay etc). This problem usually shows up when the soleniod is hot, after about a 10 or 15 minute engine shut down period.

You solved the problem by eliminating the voltage drop. I sovled the same problem by replacing the starter and solenoid (after I proved that everything else was okay). I still have the voltage drop, but now I have a new soleniod that can live with the voltage drop.
