Sounds like it needs a charge.

Either bump start the bike and ride it a bit to get charge back in or charge the battery.

well i charged the battery switched it on and pressed the horn to see if there was any power going through which there was , also one of the indicators were on as a solid light rather than blinking and it was the same on the other indicator.

How about the headlights?
How do they look on full beam?

It's still sounding like a deadish battery.

So you get the buzzing sound from turning on the ignition, rather than from pressing the starter button?

Maybe the relay is stuck on, or the start button on the switchgear could be playing up. Try disconnecting the rhs switchgear, and seeing if the solenoid still buzzes when you turn the key. If it does, try hitting it a bit.


PS. Is your username related to the infamous grindcore band of the late 80s/early 90s?

Try changing the connections around on the flasher relay. My c90 did the same.

Yep, if it's the starter solenoid pulling in without thumbing the button, then either the button is stuck on or you've connected a permanent live to it by mistake.


It's not a petrol pump priming itself is it? Dunno if yours has got one but ....
