I bought this bike a few weeks ago and everything has been running fine until today it failed to start.
I turned the key, the neutral light popped on, pushed the start button and the lights went out without turning over.
Just as I was putting the bike down to have a look for the (non existent) kick start the lights popped on again so tried the electric start and still nothing.
A gentle push and I managed to jump start and all ran fine. Once running the indicator lights worked fine and the electrics seemed ok.
When I turned off the engine and switched the key back on the neutral light stayed off.
My guess is that this is due to a problem with either the battery/charger/starter but am not really sure which one to start with on my checks.
The battery cover on this bike has been missing since before I bought it which does leave it a little open to the recent rain, but visually the connections seem fine.
If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
Just had another look (and listen to things) and I'm noticing a slight bubbling kind of sound coming from the battery.
Also with all lights off I get the neutral light popping up every minute or so after an attempted start. When I press the start button I hear a clicking from the small cylindrical object to the right of the battery which I believe is the starter relay.
So my deduction indicates that this is either the battery having insufficient charge or the starter relay having a problem.
Am I on the right lines? And if so which should I try replacing first?
