Hi, im having a hard time finding an issue with my bike. It only happened once so far but i want to fix the issue so it dont reoccur. I tried starting my bike at work yesterday, Put the key in, pulled the brakes, and pressed the electric start. It made a click noise and then the lights and everything went off. Went back in to get some tools and tried one more time. This time i kick started it. Fired right up. I got home and checked the fuses, battery cables, and the battery charge. All checked out alright. Any suggestions?

If all the wording is good and not shorts or bad connections next would be to double check all the switches If all that checks out good check the relay and the starter More often then not I have found wiring or bad Swift with just the click (iffy side stand switch’s if equipment)

Also check the voltage drop on the battery. Hook it up to a multi meter and start it. The voltage will drop and come back up real quick. If it drops below 9 the battery is bad. Then while its idling it should be around 13.4. then you know your charging system is working.

Spray clean with electric contact cleaner all starter related connections. After spraying, plug/unplug or switch on/off several times.

Did you check your kill switch? Are the connections on the battery tight? Check the engine ground cable. or any of the things listed above.

Check for a voltage drop across the large connections of the starter solenoid. You should see no significant voltage there when start button is pushed.

When you fill it do you ever overfill it?
