On my bike, it won't crank unless the stop/run is in the run position. Is it not the same on all 1150r?

As it's a spurious part there's no part number on it. However, the advert I bought from did specifically mention my bike model.

I think your right the stop run switch kills the starter as well.

It sounded like maybe a blown fuse. If that starter is working it has to be something like a cpu fuse, Seems almost certain to be related to the starter??

New one for me.. Will be interesting to fine out.

I will keep thinking but never had that one happen in 20 years of oil heads and may miles.
