Start Issues After Battery Change

Dont know this model but start with basics;
1. In neutral
2. Clutch switch good, as in lever pulled in?
3. Sidestand switch ok?

Does the battery now see a load drain?

 

What's the voltage reading? Under a certain voltage the ECU won't allow a turn over.

 

Stop switch

 

No.

 

Could be the battery is buggered, always the first go to, check voltage under load, it doesn’t take much of a drop for the bikes not to start, check your connections, is it charging fully, try another battery that is known to be Good

 

Imobiliser is a possibility - what does the manual say?

Did you get the bypass plug so you can remove and eliminate it?

 

I'm afraid this isn't an answer to your problem but I'm curious as to why you removed your battery 'to charge up over winter'. Does this mean you took it out and left it on charge, then put it back (even though we are still technically in winter)?
Sounds like you need to buy an Optimate. No need to remove the battery. If I know the bikes aren't going to be used for a few days then they're plugged in and fully charged, ready to go.

Having said that, I reckon Crispey is likely to be right. I've messed about with enough batteries over the years (before the advent of Optimate) to know that is the first thing to check (ok, after the kill switch and so on). A multimeter would be a help. Your bike's around 4 years old, I've had batteries die in that time, although others have lived for twice that long.

 

2016 bike with original battery? On the balance of probabilities the battery is shot if it was not on a smart charger. It may power lights (speed) but lacks the amperage (muscle) to do the biz. Your local garage will have a load tester to compare its actual output to the original rated output on the label.

 

One of the best best best things to own is and electrical ‘power probe’. It can as as well as find broken also power up any circuit from your fingertips. It’s a ‘must have‘ tool!!
