Hi,
I am hoping someone on this forum may share some wisdom with me here please.
BIKE HISTORY
--------------
1. Bike is only 6 months old with 1,300km done and the bike is garaged when not in use.
2. Last time I drove/started the bike before the issue was 4 weeks ago.
3. Last week, started the bike without issue and travelled 30 km on country roads before stopping at a garage to get some petrol.
4. Turned bike off and and filled tank with petrol. (All going well up to this point)
5. Turned the key in the ignition to the ON position and then noticed the Engine Warning Light been displayed on the dash. This was the first time this Engine Warning Light has ever came on the control dash.
6. I then attempt to Start the bike via the Start button.
7. There was absolutely no response from the bike barr a tiny click noise originating from around the battery area of the bike when I push the start button. Bike will not crank up at all.
Lights on the control dash are working, indicators working , back light working but there is no front light.
Checked a few fuses and they looked ok but to be honest I am novice when it comes to bikes.
No visible loose connections.
8. The AA guy tried twice jumping the bike and this action also failed to make a positive impact. He also disconnected the negative cable from the battery for a few minutes. But again the engine warning light remains visible and no response from the engine.
QUESTIONS:
--------------
Would this be a case of a depleted battery?
Would a depleted battery trigger the engine warning light to come on?
Or would this be some sort of electrical short that is preventing the bike from starting up?
Sorry for asking these types of questions but I would really like to know what triggered the engine waring light to come on and why the bike wont start.
Cheers,
Kevin
