2001 2002 Yamaha Waverunner Xlt800 Factory Service Repair Manual

if its xlt 1200 its inside the big black electric box at rear of engine ! unbolt it and remove the back cover !

its in the large electric box with the coils ! small unit with the battery + feed and starter + feed and 2 small wires to ignition !

check connections clean and no breaks in wires , check solinoid and starter in good order !

hi there it sounds like the switch gear need pulling apart and the copper contacts cleaned as it sounds like the kill switch is closed up and the starter button contacts need cleaning as well also check to see if the stater soliniod might need a cleanup where the wires go,also check your fuses to see if there contacting alright if you ride in all weather or the bike sits outside it can have these problems as mouisture gets into everything. hope this helps cheers pete

hi there could be corrosion on the switch gear and kill switch check and clean as well as the wires going tostarter soliniod,corrosion on these electrical connections are always a problem cheers pete

Solenoid

i recomend replacing the solinoide !!!

Check the fuses under the front in a round cover, 1 fuse is for the starter,but the cover must be on after checking the fuses.
