Pulled clutch hit starter and high speed clicking from relay. No smoke no heat. Battery is back on charger (battery tender). Battery went from 12.3 v to 11.3 v when disconnected. I will wait for another full charge and try again. Is there instructions on the tech page for testing the decompression solenoid? Thanks again.
OK, you need some more info about batteries.
A battery tender WILL NOT FULLY CHARGE YOUR BATTERY from a below a 12.5 volt state.
You need to go acquire a no more than 2 amp real battery charger.
You need to fully charge the battery for no less than six hours (and no more than 8) such that it maintains 12.5 volts when measured 2 hours after you disconnect the real battery charger.
If your battery will not maintain over 12 volts it is likely a bad battery. 11.3 is really bad -- that 11.3 volt battery cannot crank the bike over and maintain enough voltage to fire the black box (make a spark at the spark plug). Whacky thing is it can still turn the bike over .... (known issue).
Get back to us when you have a known good fully charged over 12.5 volt battery.
