Ah, I think there may be a wording problem here. I don't think the Valk has a solinoid.

It does have a starter relay. And other Honda bike use the same relay, the VT1100 for one, I sold my IS relay to a fellow ACE Tourer forum member.

I don 't think I've hear dof too many of these going bad. But I do of the wires melting. Sure you need another relay?

You will just have the same problems eventually if you get the one from eBay. Your start relay/solenoid is probably ok, just needs a little work and about $6 worth of parts.
