Hello all,
I removed my front fairing, speedo, headlights and changed handlebars today.
All went smoothly until I went to start it and nothing happened. Tried for another 30 secs and it finally worked and off I went, bike seemed to be running well and all electrics working.
Got home and starting issue is still there, will not respond to start button but eventually will start. I have a look at the starter relay and undo the two bolts and positive battery terminal (I should have undone negative too, doh) one of the starter relay terminals drops onto the positive terminal, sparks and bike turns over a couple of times til I knock it away.
Put it all back together and now I have no electrics to lights indicators etc. Took battery out and when on charger it states flat battery, start charger and it shows full battery, turn off drops back to flat battery.
So have I cooked my battery?
What could have caused the first starting problem? Should i replace the starter relay?
Checked all fuses and none blown.
