Yesterday I noticed that it was cranking a bit slower than normal.
By the end of the day I had to push-start it.
Got the bike home and thre her on the charger for about 3 hours at 2amps.
Gave it another try and she started fine.
Let it charge at 2amps for another few hours, tried again...nothing.
Headlight bright, signals, horn and cooling fan all good. I know the draw of the starter is greater than the mentioned items but thought I would mention just the same.
When I do hit the starter button after the above mentioned charging I get a pronounced "click" from the left sidecover where the relay, solnoid etc are clustered. I have not checked the battery for fluid levels since July 1st. At 2500rpm the alternator is providing 13.5 volts. I have checked the +/- terminals and the condition of the related wires.( dielectric grease every spring) I have yet to find my manual(still unpacking) for reference.
Bike is well cared for, no past related issues, no recent fiddling with wires in or around the area in question.
Thanks for any help provided.
