Here's the scenario;
300 mile ride last Saturday no problems, bike started and ran fine. Bike sat from Saturday evening till this morning. Rolled it out of the garage, hit the start button and 2 clicks, lights on dash dim when start button is pushed. I jumped the bike and it started right up and I made it to work. Just to be sure, I charged the battery while at work. Leave work bike starts up good, while on my way I notice the radio is turning on & off, I made it home and put side stand down and the bike died, ( NO it wasn't in gear) would not start, the relay / solenoid clicked and the lights went dim. Would not start even with a jump, just clicks and dimming dash lights.
The battery load tests as good. Took the battery out of the trike and tried it too, same result as above so I'm guessing it's not a battery issue. My ignition switch has been flaky for a long time. Is it possible the ignition switch is causing this? When I would play with the switch before this problem cropped up it would cut the radio out and with the handle bar at full lock against the key it would kill the bike.
I have an Ignition bypass hooked up and still no start.
Where should I start trouble shooting this? Anyone have the part number and a seller suggestion for a new ignition switch? The bike is a 2001 RSV.
