True a charger is a must have. I got water in the battery, I happen to have a tiny funnel. Battery is back in. Do I HAVE to go get a charger or would a ride do for the time being???

I think its hard on the bikes charge system to use it to charge a battery back up, but its been done a ton of times to no apparent bad result, so, fire that dude up & ride a while,,

tried. Didn't charge. So now I am headed to the shop to test the battery. I am only praying it is not the starter itself. Or the charging system. I am sick of putting $ in this thing.

Id have to pop the tank & check all the connectors, if the battery checks good.

It didn't. Had the battery checked. Only showed 8 Volt and NO cranking amps at all. SOOOOOO battery is gonna have to go. Only question is now how do I know it is the straight battery and not the charging system?

OK I replaced the battery, still won't start. Still clicks, I can hear the relay. Its not the starter button or the switch cause when I press I hear the click and the lights dim. Obviously not the battery. How do I check the starter??

First, break the ground loose & clean under there, make sure you have a good ground. Look at the connections on the starter,, heck,, break them loose,, make sure theyre good,, Youve got a little gremlin eatin you alive,, Its not a big deal,, but it a pest,, we will solve it,, just work thru potentil hassle after potential hassle till you get it,,


Lay a hand ON the starter & hit the button, if you feel the starter engage & the engine dont spin,, the decomp is the problem.
OR, the electricals arent passing enough current,, feel the ground cable, if its HOT, youve found resistance,, Hot side, do the same,,

WOW I AM DUMB. I found the issue. A blown relay fuse. lol WOW again. Don't know why the fuse blew, which concerns me but the bike is mobile again. Start at the simple stuff everyone says. Do I listen? NO!

Ya it just didn't make sense, all I did was shut down. Oh well, all is well that ends well.

Thanks for hanging in there Justin. It helps just to have someone else to not have any idea what the issue is Grin
