Just because it will take a charge on the charger, doesn't really mean it's good. Did you do a load test on it?
Is it a starter, solenoid, HELP!
Yesterday my bike wouldn't start after riding it around town. It had all the classic symptoms of a dead battery (click click click click) and it was the original that came with the bike (it's a 2003 1300S). It had done something similar in November, but I tightened up the connections and it seemed to get better. Occasionally it would skip a little when starting it, which would reset my trip odometer.
So I went to my local battery store and picked up a new one. I put it in the bike and now it won't start. :banghead: Battery has lots of charge, but it seems like it won't make it past the compression stroke.
Is this a starter or solenoid issue? If so, is there a way to test it?
