We just had the bike into the dealership for it’s 3k checkups. While there they also installed a trickle charger quick connect on the battery. Everything ran fine until last night when my wife went to ride home. Once she went to hit the starter switch it clicked and died! She had it jumped started and came home no problem. This morning I go out to check the charger connection and it’s good. Now however when we go to start it after flipping the kill switch it flickers again and won’t crank. Of course being Monday the dealer is closed. Any ideas on what might be the problem? Thanks in advance Bill

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Try to boost it with your car or put a charger, if you have a multimeter takes the voltage of the battery,if the battery has not 12 volts and more there is a problem of charge.

The dealership worked on your ryde and touched your battery terminals--- right. New :spyder2: that was just fine before the dealership touched your battery. Logic says it's the blinker fluid:joke::joke::joke:.
Please check the tightness of the battery terminals, and the quality of the dealers mechanics. Adding star washers at the terminals will help.

All connections are tight. Has a vehicle malfunction icon that comes on, then goes off. Bad thing is the dealer is closed Monday. Will call them Tuesday and have them come get it. We had planned on going to the Lone Star Rally in Galveston this weekend so hopefully it’ll be a simple fix.

Well good luck,
Do you have volt meter??? Check voltage at the battery not running. A good battery should be 12.6 v. Then running. Should be a volt to 1.5 volts higher when the motor is running. ( simple charging system check)
Someone here will tell you how to pull any stored codes, this is fairly simple and a good start to you diagnosis.

Did you leave the key on? Leaving the key on and using kill switch to stop bike will kill a battery over night with battery tender hoked up. Tender doesn't put out enough amperage to over come draw.
