Thank you for posting this. It was very helpful.
I was testing it wrong and thought the new solenoid I bought was defective.

Excellent video, I wanted to test my solenoid I just rebuilt before I put it back on. Superior makes a great repair kit. I don't have a sportster, I have a 1982 FLH Electra Glide. But the same principle. Thanks for the video.....

Great test. a bad `hold` circuit is going to cause intermitant starter problems.
