Hey all. I seem to be having a bit of a problem with my battery (I think). I just bought my bike ( a 2005 GS500f) in April. Shortly after, I had both carbs rebuilt, new spark plugs, tank flush and oil flush/change done due to intermittent power problems.
A few weeks after that, I had my battery taken to a local parts store and they did a trickle charge on it overnight. She ran great until Sat.
I was ready to go out, had her warmed up, gear on, went inside to check something and turned my bike off when I did (I don't ever let her out of my sight when she is running). When I came back out, she wouldn't start. Did some ticking at me and wouldn't turn over. I put her back in the garage and left it at that.
Sunday I went to the garage and she started right up. I kill switched her and started her again. On the forth time, she wouldn't start. Ticked at me again... Tonight she fired right up.
I have her on a trickle charger right now, but I have no idea what is going on! I would like to try to figure out if it is the battery (so I can get a new one and get on with riding) or if it may be something more significant.
Any ideas?
Thanks
