Hi all, engine still will not turn over from the switch..

I've tested the relay, starter motor, starter switch, starter circuit in fuse box, ignition switch all the diodes but still not turning.

Any ideas to whats wrong!!!!

Sidestand or clutch safety switches?

maybe the sidestand switch..?

Have you got the 100 OHMS resistor in there?
If the engine's in the chassis then try putting a jump lead between the engine and this to earth it.

I have not got a resistor in the loom as its a standard item as taken from the bike.. Where does this resistor go????

I can turn the engine over by putting power from the battery directly to the starter relay.

The engine is in neutral and the clocks is showing that it is. I've tried the side stand in both positions.

Just a thought, does it have a 'vehicle down' sensor? If so, is it in the correct position, or has it been correctly bypassed?

My understanding is there is normally a 100 ohm resistor in the ignition switch wiring on the bike. Assuming like me you aren't using the original switch but are on the sierra barrel or other you will need 100 ohm resistor. On my ZX9r B engine is was between the white feed from the ignition to the alternator and the grey wire to the Ignitor or ECU. Now I can't be 100% on how it needs to be on your new switch as I am in the process of wiring it in myself. Previously had it running with resistor simply looped between white and grey on the ignition connector.

Hope that helps! Not shown on the wiring diagram btw.

It's the lack of a resistor then. The standard starter button, which I presume you're not using just the loom, need to be simulated with a resistance of 100 Ohms. It should go between the white and grey wires on the ignition.
If you get stuck there's loads of it on a search.

Can't find the diagram at the moment, but have a quick look at my old website hints page and december 2002:

This is the wiring diagram for the ZX9r B engine. You can see the Ignition connector and the white wire. The grey wire runs from the ignition connector to the IC ignitor. Thats the wire that needs the resistor to provide the 100ohms to the IC I believe. Hopefully that is some help. I have the manual in the garage will look and see if I have the later models wiring diagram if you need it.
