    How do I test the starter cylanoid?
    And the engine kill/run switch on a 82 xj650

    Are those two parts swappable on the 82 xj750??

    You can kind of test a solenoid by connecting it to a battery to hear the 'click' as it switches connect blue/white to -ve and touch red/white on positive. For teh kill switch use a continuity tester ( a multimeter will have this feature or make one with a battery and a bulb..).

    For compatibility yes the solenoid will work and if the kill switch assy look the same on both bikes then I would guess it's also the same - usually are with Yam.

    Thanks the switch is definitely bad thought I'd hit it once more before testing it and the button flew out lol
    The 750 wiring looks the same I haven't plugged it in to test it yet waiting till I can get the other forks on it first
