Turn on key, running lights should come on. If yes, then. 2. Turn off key, remove right side cover and locate DFI relay. It is the round one in the group of three. 3. Turn on key, check for 12v on the Brown/red.Starting Problem. My Kawasaki 900 Vulcan won't start. The battery is only 1 year old and gives a reading of 12.89 volts across the terminals.
