Cagiva Mito 125 starter relay testing , how to test




Buy Cagiva Mito starter relays and solenoids on Ebay UK here 


Testing a starter relay is quite easy.

basic equipment needed is 12v battery with 2 x wire i use crocodile

clips . You can also use a small test bulb as well .

or you can invest in good and safer tool like the 12v power

 probe and 

snap of test light probe i bought and are excellent .

 about it saves loads of hassle

The relay , the small terminals are what connect to your starter

 button and carry a lot less current .

the larger terminals are connected direct from battery to the starter

 motor so need larger wires to carry the massive starting currents .

I am using the power probe here as its safer but you can just as easily connect the 12v negative to one side and tap the positive on the other side 

you should hear a click as you touch the positive and remove it .

You can go a step further and add a test light to it and confirm

 current it going through the secondary circuit .




to test with a lamp you need to connect one end on test light

 circuit to battery positive and the to one of the relays larger

 terminals and then use another cable from second larger terminal to

 negative of battery ill do basic circuit diagrams at bottom of page .

Now when you put power to the smaller terminals it should click but

 also the light should flash on and off as you tap power .



OK not the best , never have been very good with Windows Paint
