2003 gen 1 thou abit strange this one last night I went to check the bike as I haddent used it for a couple of weeks and the battery was flat (just clicling when I hit the starter button) jumped it of aanother battery and she started first time warmed her up left her to run for a good 20 mins , stopper her , no warning lights or rev counter error codes . but still the battery was flat .
I left it connected to the other battery overnight and again this morning it was still flat but jump started easily
As I pulled away all the lights went out the speedo and rev counter all died ! the only thing working was the multigauge !
but the bike was running fine ! I did a half hour run still nothing every now and then all would burst into life then die again !
stopped the bike and it was still flat !
I went to my appointment and jumped the bike still easily but still no lights or speedo and rev counter !
I road for about five minutes the the bike started to pop bag and slowly dies till it got to tick over speeds at which it ran fine !
I then got to spend a lazy hour and a half waitting to be recovered !
anyway , My thinking is the battery has died but still had a bit of life in it , but is no longer accepting a charge so once the battery power level got so low it could no longer run the bike ?
My question is if its why wasnt the charge from the bike alternater keeping it going , ( as yet I havent been able to test to see if it is sending out a charge )
anyone have any other ideas ? some thing I might need to check ?
I will check and clean all the connections as well as charge the battery
