. I found the problem on that wire for not powering on. I had replaced the standard plug a couple of years ago with an NGK one. It seems that after that time and with the vibrations on the bike it became loose.
You did good. The Feel of a plug wire snapping into place, unless someone is familiar with it, and knows what it's Supposed to feel like, they could get close and it run for a while and then get troublesome.
As Dave said, gotta know what the battery voltage is under load to know what the battery is really doing.
Nobody can hear how quickly the starter is spinning your motor over but you. If it's spinning over the same but sometimes starting, sometimes not , then thinking it's Possibly an interlock or connection to an interlock isn't unreasonable. AFAIK, you're the first who ran an intermittent start problem down and found the plug wire not seated right on the plug. Maybe WD should have a look up that way before he puts an armor piercing round through the head on his.
We see tons of Turns over but won't start problems. It's most often battery or a crummy ground.
When someone is charging the battery regularly that is a bit of a red flag. Sounds to the people reading it like you're not trusting the battery to be healthy. New, nearly new, we Expect them to be healthy, but batteries can be crummy, before they should be. That's why they have warranties. And, without knowing what kinda charger, how many amps and how long, we can't get a feel for whether or not the charging of the battery has hurt the battery.
I hope you cleaned out the cavity the plug sits in.
Now we have a new
Have you checked the__________,,,
