Start problems
Went out to dinner and when I was done the starter wouldn’t turn over. It clicked then all the power died to the point where my clock reset to 12:00. I had to turn the key to Off before I got my idiot lights back. After 2 or 3 times I gave up and decided to pop the clutch to get home. When I got home, I turned my bike off, waited about 15 seconds and it started up like nothing was wrong. I did this twice.
My bike is on a trickle charge whenever I’m not riding it. My lights and blinkers were strong so I don’t think it’s my battery.
Any idea’s?

Check the connections
at the battery. I had a very similar problem. Turned out it was just the battery connections. They need to be tightened with more than a Phillips screwdriver. Use loctite (careful to get it only on the threads) and tighten it with a 10mm socket or wrench. Be careful not to get crazy torquing the bolts, the metal on the battery connections is not real hard.
Good Luck.
