Just tried it again and it didn’t start. It cranked twice and then all I heard was fast tick sound coming from under the seat and all the indicator lights dimming.



Thanks everyone, running the charger to it now. Tomorrow I’m taking the battery to get tested.
the fast click tells me either battery, relay, or something crazy with the starter...

local autozone says no load test on battery, but they can charge it. havent been able to get a volt meter yet, cc canceled due to fraud (218.00 charge out of florida, i live in CA) and just too damn busy to wait in line at the bank.
hopefully this weekend i can finally check it out.
thanks again...

I'd charge the battery and make sure the cable connections are good. My bike is an '06 and I've never had to charge the battery...I think one of your connections came a little loose. You shouldn't have to replace a mc batt in just two years. Also,the possibility exists that the dealership never properly charged your battery in the first place and it's never been fully charged....
