Hey.
The other day I pulled up for fuel, filled the bike and then moved it to a car park to go in to pay. Came out and started the bike .. started to reverse back and it died. Pressed the starter and nothing. Got the bike started with jumpers and rode it home (about 30 mins) stopped it and turned it over (Just the tick of the solenoid, tried again and the motor turned really slowly .. that was it. Recharged the battery and same thing. It will recharge to full no probs but if I even try it it seems to kill the battery right away. It will roll start fine and jump no probs so I am wondering if it may be the battery or the starter motor. I have a spare, but not a spare battery and no real way to test it. Wondering too with all this wet stuff falling out the sky if I may have developed a short somewhere ??? Any ideas would be appreciated 8)
