07 rsv wont start

[loudad]

Original battery on trickle charge all the time. I charged the battery to 12.8 and nothing happens. I checked the 10 amp fuse and its ok. Where is the 30amp fuse located? I couldn't find it. Also it doesn't turn over at all. Oh yeah when I first tried to start it. It did crank a few times but that was it.

I would put my money on a new battery, 10 yrs is a long time for a bike battery.

I agree. I wouldn't do another thing until I took it and had it load tested. Heck, 10 years old, I wouldn't even bother. I would just replace it. If it's not bad, it will be before too long.

You got your money's worth out of that battery. 30 amp fuse is behind the side panel that is behind the left passenger floor board mount.

Agree on the battery dying, (especially as it cranked initially), sounds like it can no longer hold a charge.

your original battery is 10 years old definitely time for a new one!

Clean & check tightness of all battery, starter motor & ground connections too.

If load test on battery checks out OK, then check the connection to the starter solenoid. It's down there behind that plastic cover on the left side behind the rear floorboard. Mine got to doing the same nearly a year ago. I cleaned the connections, put it all back together, ordered a new solenoid switch. The new one is still in the trunk!

Contact the Gunnies book folks and also Bohannon Battery and order a new one. If you got ten years out of one that is highly unusual.

thanks for all the help. As soon as i get off the road i will get a new battery and let you guys how i made out with the bike

[loudad]

Hey guys I replaced the battery and it doesn't turn over. I checked the two 30amp fuses and they are both good. Where is the starter selinoid located located.

The solenoid is at the end of the positive battery cable, about 10 inches below the battery. To get to it remove the left passenger’s floor board and side panel. The 30 amp fuse is beside the solenoid.

How do you remove the starter. I removed the starter cable from the selenoid and jumped the cable to starter and nothing. The selenoid is bad also.

Loudad,

I had an experience last year out on the road. After installing a new battery the bike still would not start. Checking the 30amp fuses and all was good, I pulled the tank off and the plug that goes to the switch had burnt. I have also heard that one of the wires might even come loose. Not saying this is it but just double check all the plugs and wires that are under the tank.

Can't remember... but will the bike turn over when the kill switch is off??

Hey everyone thanks for all the replies. I replaced the battery and also found that the coil on the starter selonoid was open. Replaced it and everything ok. THANKS AGAIN
