Any ideas what the electric start problems could be on a Yamaha Jog R 2002 model. When the engine is running and the rear brake is pressed the electric start functions, however once the engine is switched off the electric start does not work. The indicators are also stay solid yellow once indicating to manouvre. I have replaced the battery and also found the LCD display does not light up? Any info would be appreciated.

I hava a Yamaha Jog R 2012 model and it stopps after 1-2 km driven. I have checked the vaccum valve and it works. I have also checked the reed valve and it seems fine.

Any ideas ?

Just had the same problem,bike running fine but would not electric start and horn/indicators not working.Changed ignition switch but that was not the problem.Then ran a temp live wire from the battery to the back lights as all electrics run through the back lights and started fine,then used same wire and ran to red wire on ignition switch block started fine again,proving the live has broken between the battery and ignition switch.Rewired live and bike now starts and works 100%

The starting problem is linked to the starter relay which is inside the bottom tray of the panels you should be able to see it by looking rom the rear
