hey there,

so I rebuilt the entire bike last year it had a dead ground on it so I replaced the starter motor as that was the cause it sat for about 3-4 weeks as I needed to double check the timing and since then the rear right indicator has stopped working with my 150 tail light and when I press the starter button I hear a "clank" (presume its the starter) then I loose all power I have cleaned the contacts and the battery sits at 11v when the ignitions on and sits at 12.64v when the ignition is off
I have replaced the whirring harness with a brand new one that starter is fine and the main relay is working as it should so I really don't know what's wrong
thank you -MewMew rider Karma

Your battery sounds like it’s dead.

okay I will pop into a Halfords and get a new one kinda annoyed bc I spend £75 on my battery everytime I replace it but I left out that I loose all power to the bike besides indicators and I can get the power back if I wiggle the key around

Worn ignition barrel. The only solution is to replace.

What kills batteries is not using the bike.

The internet. I never go out and buy stuff, online is easier, cheaper and most time its in stock.

I rate these, some don't but I had one for 5 years in my GSXR and its still starting the bike (well it went when I sold it a few weeks ago)
