    I have a 83-XJ750K and I am having starting problems. My bike doesn't have a kick start, so when the electric start fails, my only option is to roll start my bike. I have put a new battery in and it didn't make any difference. I had the starter rebuilt, that also didn't make any difference. I am just about ready to burn my bike. Also have checked and cleaned starter button and kill switch and the kickstand switch. Solenoid seems to be working. I am running out of ideas. Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

    Be more specific in your description of the "starting problem."

    Won't turn over at all?

    Cranks but won't fire?

    Cranks, "sort of" fires, but won't run?
