Re: [ST] Weekly Charging of Battery needed...Explanation?



Question: Does everything else light up ok when you turn on the switch?
(Head light, instruments, etc?) When I've had a real battery problem,
the whole bike was dead. If you have lights and etc, your problem is
likely to be in the starter switch, its wiring, or any relays in that
circuit.
You might be looking for two separate problems: A start circuit problem
and a battery charge (alternator - regulator - loose connection)
problem.

Subject: [ST] Weekly Charging of Battery needed...Explanation?

Firstly, Rick, been away for a while and just saw about the
crash.  Trust you're OK as Janice mentioned a new Tiger had your
name on it...

Back to my problem.  My ST requires recharging every week or so.
My riding is mixed, highway speeds and city driving; not
excessive in either mode.

I brought the battery in to be load tested and was told it was
fine and the bike starts up strongly after a charge.

Sometimes, however, when I press the start button, there is
....nothing....just peace and quiet.  When I instinctively
(immediately) press it again, the engines turns over and starts.

So, my non-mechanical brain starts to think intermittent short.
But where to start to look?  Could it be something else?

In all other respects, bike is functioning as expected.

TIA,
