I washed my bike, dismantled the front handlebar area to sort out cable management. Road it around the block to check it out. Turned it off and 20 mins. later tried to fire it up to pull in the garage. This is what I get ... OK, here's what I've done so far to troubleshoot so far: - checked the battery connections - Left on a Batterytender, getting 100% charge reading - Disconnected all recent wiring that I've done - checked all fuses - removed ignition ket assembly and hit it with a heat gun (maybe water in it?) - tried jumping it with cables from my other m/c - heated handgrips were tapped into the horn so they're keyed and not drawing on the battery My best guess at this point is the ignition may be shot. The dash will power up sometimes, sometimes it won't. Before I start buying random parts, can anyone make any other suggestions? At this point I'm bamboozled...
Loose connection at starter solenoid or corrosion at main battery ground? More than once I've had batteries that did what you're seeing but seemed ok and a new battery fixed it. .
Ok, the problem has been sorted. The stock battery going on 5 years old gave up the ghost. I mean like someone threw a light switch to the off position in a manner of seconds. It just happened after I did extensive work wiring up some goodies and washing it. Which in turn made me retrace all the work that preceded this incident. Moty installed, problem solved.
