Hi,
I have a 2014 CTX700ND. I replaced my original battery with a Yuasa YTZ12s in late February 2019. Took it on a 300 mile trip about a month ago with no issues...and no prior issues. Also, use a battery tender, when not in use.
Yesterday, I hopped on and all the starter button did was "click." But, it would not start.
Checked to make sure it was not user error, i.e. kill switch, etc.
I waited 6 hours, then, tried again. It started 3 times in a row. But, didn't try to ride it.
I tried again this morning. Started 3 times in a row. Then, wouldn't start on the 4th try or after that. I've continued to try starting all day today, but, still only get the "click."
I find it hard to believe it's a battery issue at 3 and a half years old?
The oil light remained on, but, I think that is because the engine didn't start, not an oil pressure issue.
I'm kinda stumped. Any insight from the community would be appreciated.
As a footnote, I'm not mechanically inclined, (looking for a blown fuse, etc.) but, get my bike serviced every year before the riding season starts.
Thanks for your help.
