1 Starting Issue After New Battery - but maybe before? Mon Jul 27, 2020 5:48 pm

My K75 was sluggish when starting so I put my battery on my charger. It started and I rode a couple of miles, stopped for gas and when I tried to start it it was totally dead. I tried to jump start it but nothing. I took the battery and had it checked and was told it was bad so I replaced it. It was almost 5 years old. Put the new battery in and it still would not start and headlight would not come on. But now when I tried to start it I could hear the starter click. I tapped on the starter and it fired right up. But now when I turn the ignition switch and the kill switch on the headlight doesn't light like it always did before and it won't start. I have not reviewed the electrical schematic yet so my question is this: Does the headlight tie into the starter or is this an indication of some bigger problem than my starter?
Thank you.
Thank you.
