Hi All
Went for a ride out on Monday up to Welshpool and surrounding areas and having stopped throughout the day numerous times and having started the bike with no problems at all I arrived at Builth Wells little chef to stretch the legs, having decided to leave for home soon after I returned to the bike turned on the ignition to find it wouldn't turn over
The ignition all came on as normal, the bike was in neutral the kill switch off and the clutch pulled in, all I got was a clicking sound from the starter relay under the seat and no starter, I double checked everything still no joy,tried to jump start with 3 blokes pushing me, don't try this it doesn't work the compression is too high just locks the rear wheel no matter what gear your in. Eventually gave up and called the AA who arrived and again checked everything eventually put a jump pack on the battery and it fired up no problem, checked charging voltage 14.2 volts all good, ran it for a while and stopped it again only to be met with the same result, this time jumped it again left it running and rode it home with no issues at all. (Heated grips spots on etc)
Took the bike the next day to my local dealer having started it of the car battery and it is still there at this time waiting to find out what's wrong, my question is can a battery suddenly go down like that having started the bike so well all day?
