Thanks yankeered

 

check the main fuse and the rest of the fuses
check the wire at the battery you may have melted it

check the ground wires from battery too could have melted the one to frame small wire at the motor ground

 

there are a lot of oil seals in the starter.
there was a thread before on this was it yours?

 

Partly mine can contact you in the mourning I have some questions I need some real help with thanks yankeered

 

Where's the main fuse at the old school round cylinder one the glass is cracked but the wire is still whole

 

bike are you talking about xj 700

wire can be whole and broken from caps change it

thats your main fuse the rest are in the cluster i think

 

Disconnecting the (-) should be done first and will remove power to your bike.

Yes, '85 700 29k.
