02, will crank but not fire up. Parked bike in driveway about 1300 today. Had turned it around to be able to drive straight out tonight. Was in neutral , turned off key and put kick stand down. I always leave bike in gear, but today I Rev button and left bike sitting in rev..No indications of any problems earlier today. Battery bug shows 12.8 - 12.9 volts. Drops to 12.3. - 4 while cranking. While riding today, battery bug indicated proper charging conditions. 14 after start up. 81 % of battery life left per battery bug. My other battery indicator showed proper charging etc also. Sprayed shut off switch which I never use and also rev button with contact cleaner. As of 1830 today, still will crank like hell but not start.:evil::evil::evil::evil::evil:
Just an update. After about 15 min on battery tender, it fired up. Cannot beleive it is the battery with all the indicators saying battery is good. Battery is only about 6 mon. old. Only thing I can think of is rev or kill button was dirty, contact cleaner cleaned it up and dried out allowing bike to start. Does that sound plausible?
Any suggestions where to start?
