ok this is kind of a weird problem... today i stopped to get gas. when i tried to start it back up, the relay just clicked... almost like the battery was dead. i put it in first and rocked it a bit, then pulled the clutch in, and it would crank half assed, still like the battery was dead. sometimes it wouldnt crank at all. i let it sit for a minute, then tried it again, and it fired right up.
so i rode on
about an hour later stopped again for a few minutes. tried to start it back up. same problem. took about 15 minutes but it finally started.
so i ride home
i pull into the garage and turn it off. then for shits and giggles, i try to start it to see if it will happen again... fires right up. i let it sit for a few, tried to start again, and it did it. didnt wanna start. i put it in first, rocked it, and it started right up again.
the second time it happened today, i was kind of concerned that it wouldnt start at all. and i was a good 50 miles from home :-\
anyone had a similar problem to this? a short in the clutch switch? a short somewhere else? bike possessed by the devil?
when it was clicking and stuff, i hit the horn and it sounded as strong as ever, so it didnt seem that the battery wasnt giving it enough juice.
it did this once to me about 3 months ago. but it started after a few tries, and never did it again, so i kind of forgot about it.
