I wish I could help. The reason mine sits un-fixed is because I know very little about electrical wiring. Sorry I can't help. You're beyond my level of electrical knowledge, Colin.

So, I replaced my battery and no e-start. Found out the main fuse was dead. I replaced it with no luck. Turns out the starter relay is blown, a $50 part. Shouldn't the fuse have protected the relay? Others have said you can get the relay for $10 or so at an auto parts store, but I am having a hard time finding anything on the web. It appears the relay for $50 is a fuse holder and electrical connector glued on to the relay, but I don't know whether to pull it apart or not. Any ideas or links you can send me to?

Thanks for sharing! :o) The trick I found was just learning to not care that my taillight doesn't work. After 4 or 5 years, you completely forget about it. ;o) Great link, Colin!

It may be why mine wasn't working. I am getting a new battery, and if that doesn't do the trick I also found a website on how to fix these tails. It seems like it is a common problem. http://www.crfsonly.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=34768&sid=1940189b6e0c5b9a7f41f1bca10c465e I know it's old, but thanks for this post.
