Hi All, bike has been stored for last 9 months. Have kept battery charged with trickle charge. Went to push starter button lights all dimmed on dash. Tried again still the same result. Had a look on previous threads and tested first the starter relay with a direct contact to relay from battery and starter turned the motor over with no probs. Did notice lights did not fade when pushing starter button. Could this be a problem relay causing this as I thought lights would generally dim with load shed. Tested wires from starter button was 9volts and now 4. Then after a short period I tried to start it again a woa it started. I let it run for a while turned it off and tried again and sure enough back to lights dimming and frustration. The fuel pump works when button pushed now checking battery and its down to 12.3 volts and advice would be well received Coopz
