Default Low Battery Power - Video Inside


So, I've charged the battery completely up and my charger says it has full power. The video above was the result of trying to start her up again.

The only thing I haven't tried yet was purchasing a brand new battery. Any suggestions on why this could be happening? Thanks!

The buzzing is probably the fuel pump. I would check that either the clutch-switch,
neutral indicator or the side-stand switch are the problem first.

Try pulling in the clutch...does it start?

Try sitting on the bike and put the side stand up, anything?

Try side-stand up AND pull in the clutch, what's that do for ya?

Is the neutral light showing when you have it in neutral?

Does the head-light come on and then go out when you hit the starter?

You might also check the 30amp main fuse. It's probably housed with the starter relay, under the seat.

Check these scenerios and get back to us.

well if your battery is constantly going dead when you cant even start the bike, it might be shot.. but as for the relay, its either shot, or theres something shorting out somewhere(which could be the reason for your power drain.. im not sure exactly what relay that is, but an easy way to somewhat narrow it down would be to go to the fuse box and pull each fuse, 1 at a time, and see which one stopps the buzzing. then you will know what circut you are working with.

my first guess would be just a bad relay, as it should not buz like that.. take it out, and run it to a shop and see what they want for a new one. if its not the relay, then atleast you know what circut your working with, and you gotta find your source of the power drain by following that wire harness to everywhere it goes. look for pinched spots in the harness, cuts, or even just poor connections.
