My friend owns this bike. When we turn on the ignition, the power and headlights come on normally, but then it fades. The headlight and dash lights all fade in about 5 seconds, sometimes longer. If you try to start before the fade, you get the click from the starter solenoid, but no cranking. You can also hear or feel quite a bit of clicking from the system relay, not the starter relay. Then the lights and power fade right away.

The battery is good, load tested and all.

I read through the manual and it mentioned that if the crank position sensor (CKP) isn't good, the ECM will turn off the power, so I thought this must be it. I swapped the CKP with another friends bike and it didn't fix the problem.

I guess it could be wiring from the crank position sensor to the ECM, a bad ECM or some other issue.

There was a code for a neutral switch, but we cleared it and it didn't' return. neutral switch seems to be working.

I read of similar problem regarding a circuit breaker over heating, but I also read this year model they changed it already for a fuse. Haven't had a chance to check that yet, it's too late tonight.

If anyone has seen this issue or has any ideas, I'm all ears.
