Training Wheels
So. This has been happening after not riding the bike for a week or so. I'll turn the key to on, (neutral, clutch handle pulled) and hit the starter. I get a relay "click" but the bike does nothing. I release the starter, and the bike is just sitting there with the headlight on. Then I do this again -- starter, click, starter, click, starter, click and then on the 10th or 12th try, the starter fully engages and the bike roars to life. I've fully cleaned the battery connections (steel wool, sandpaper, wd-40) and everything's tight as a drum there. I've taken the battery (sealed-gel) off the bike and put it on the charger -- five minutes later, the charger switches off and shows a full charge. Any ideas on what the problem might be? Or is this normal? Any ideas where I should be troubleshooting next? As always -- thanks in advance! Best, Eric 2001 Kawasaki Concours 1983 Honda Interceptor 1981 Honda CM-400 Custom
