1988 Elite E question

Post by 88elitenh »

Just bought this bike and the directionals and electric start do not work. Battery is new. Headlight/tail/brakelight work. Anyone know what is wrong before i start replacing things? Thank You

The brake light has to be one for the starter to work.

when you turn the key and hold the brake to start it there is nothing on and then i kick it over, it starts up and runs, and then the brake light/headlight come on so im not sure what it could be.
