Electric Starter will not work?

[Kerick]

I have a 1985 Yamaha 225DR and it starts fine with pull start but the electric start button when I push it does even make a "click" sound? Any ideas? I check through the wiring and didnt see any disconnections or anything...

bad solenoid or bad starter.. it is fast clicking it's froze starter or dead battery. it may also have a dead battery but usually yamahas click very fast when it's just dead unless it's completely gone

My bad I ment to write it doesnt even make a "click" sound. Lol sorry but even when I hooked the battery charger up to the battery and cleaned the poles it still didnt do anything at all when i hit the e start buttomn

Oh yea the neutral light wont come on either

[nickmon3]

probably dead battery try jumping it and if that wont work check ur fuses

[Kerick]

I did hook a battery charger up to it so its not dead battery ill check fuses in a bit or tomorrow

[Speedy2222]

check the neutral safety switch. not sure where it is on that bike but it's my guess. My guess is check fuses and check starter

I cheked over the whole wiring earlier and the only odd thing i saw was eletric tape holding 2 different color wires together I undid it and kept touching them and still nothing. Ill check fuses, starter(i heard i could connet the battery charger to the starter diretly and try that), and ill look for the neutral switch

ya put the ( - ) on the frame and then put the( + ) on the pole on the starter and it should crank
