Title: 400ex won't start Post by: flt mech on November 03, 2007, 10:01:57 PM Tinkering with my 2001 Honda 400ex today and found that it won't start. Everytime I hit the start button I hear a chattering noise coming from the battery area. I finally tracked it down and found it to be coming from a relay right next to the battery. I think it would be called the starter relay is this right? How much do they cost and can I bypass it till the part comes in. Thanks for any info.

If that is all good you can take a old screwdriver and cross the 2 bolt terminals on that relay. that will make straight power goto the starter. take care.
