Your battery may be weak. Take it to your local bike shop or Autozone to check & see if it will hold a charge. If the battery is good, you could have a bad rectifier or other problem. On my F4, the rectifier went bad & caused all matter of problems til I narrowed down what the problem was. I replaced w/ the newer factory version w/ cooling fins that supersedes the old version. Once this was done, all worked well.

Too, make sure that when you are pushing your starting switch that the switch pops all the way back out to normal position. The switch can get sticky & not pop back out all the way. This will cause the bike to not start. Sounds incredibly simple but that sticky switch will not allow the bike to start.

Good luck.
