Alright then been awhile but just installed new r/r bc I had it and now doesn't even try to turn over. All I hear is a click when I hit the start button from just above the exhaust tailpipe. Looked at wires but didn't see anything outta place. All fuses r good. When I turn the key on the Neutral light is barely lit up but when I hit the start button it lights up. I just had the battery charged the other week so idk. Any ideas r helpful.

Check the battery with a meter, and check it also while trying to crank it. Most auto parts stores will do a load test for no charge. If it doesn't turn over, most likely the battery.

Still at it, so it has a new r/r now and the battery has been charged, but they forgot to test it for me and I was on my way to work so no time. Anyways installed battery and she started right up and ran for 15 minutes no problem. Didn't have time to take it out/bc work. Anyways turned it off and started it a few times and it didn't want to start right up as easily as normal. It still started after a few turnovers but when it turned over the first few times it sounded slow and sounded like a knock. Then would start and run fine. Any thoughts? Don't feel like riding it home just to die on me and get stuck.

Either the battery is shot or the bike is not charging.

Had a similar problem on one of my sc21's (CBR1000F mark 1) it turned out to be the earth where it connects to the frame. Just loosened the bolt squirted wd40 on it re tightened the bolt, fixed. Hope yours turns out to be just as simple.

So after 2 months finally fixed. It was the r/r, but autozone never charged the battery after saying they had so once that was charged I was good to go. Looking for problems that aren't there will drive ya nuts ha. Thanks for all the input gentlemen
