Tech dude 2000 I need your wisdom in regards to why my 2012 1800 GL will not fire. I have replaced the battery, both solenoids A and B all lights come on but the bike will not crank. please advise.

Is the starter spinning the engine or no cranking at all.

The starter is not spinning but the solenoids just click. I have replaced both A and B solenoids relays and a new battery thinking that would solve the problem but to no avail. The MC has 8800 miles.

The MC will not crank at all everything else functions normal but the crank.

Ok, you should verify the cable connections with this diagram. If all the cables are in the correct places, then take a voltmeter and check the voltage on the RVS A fuse to ground while you are pressing and holding the starter button with the key on. If you read battery voltage or anything above 12V, your starter motor is dead or there’s a bad connection on its cable connection. You have to pull the gas tank out to reach the starter motor.

Thank you for your help. i am kind of a novice can you direct me where to locate the Reverse A Fuse. I do appreciate your help. Thank you.

To be sure you are talking about the fuses inn the fuse box not the RVS Relays underneath the seat just double checking.
