problem solved! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yahoo.gif[/img]
unbelievable.
did what wickle suggested. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/good.gif[/img]
stripped the starter relay to pieces, took the battery +ve (the red thingy to the relay) and -ve (the black thingy to the frame) leads and cleaned, sandpapered, installed everything. taped up, installed a cover for the gaping hole (mod from an empty tub of walls ice cream) and now she runs like she used to.
trying to find this on my own would have taken ages.
thanks a bunch all. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/drinks.gif[/img]
p.s; maybe i should email a photo of it to yamaha. they have a team of engineers, a gazillion bucks for research... and here's an empty tub of ice cream and a bit of sandpaper. they can file it under 'ridiculously simple ways to solve stupid engineering problems'.
