So Fix it

How to Check a Yamaha 1982 Motorcycle Starter

The starter on your 1982 Yamaha motorcycle engages the motor to propel the bike when the rider hits the gas. If you are having problems with your 1982 Yamaha starter, you are probably thinking that you need to employ a motorcycle mechanic to get it fixed. The truth is that you can check the starter yourself with very little hassle. Testing this starter will allow you diagnose the problem yourself without spending money on a service shop.

Instructions

1

Put a pan under your Yamaha motorcycle and pull the 24mm oil plug from the bottom of the engine panel. Allow the oil to drain from the engine.

2

Use a socket wrench to remove the screws holding the left side engine cover onto the motorcycle. The amount of screws holding the cover onto the bike will vary from model to model.

3

Go to the front of the motorcycles engine and look for the starter. The starter is a large ring with a bolt coming from the center of it. Use your hands to pull the starter out enough to expose the wiring.

4

Use a voltmeter to get a volt reading from the starters red and black wires. If you get a reading less than 12V from the starter, you need to replace the unit.
