help.bike wont start…
At sas Marlow for the day. I stopped to checkmap and hit kill switch and now bike wont start with starter.
Fuses are all good. But there’s clicking noise coming from near the battery.
Sounds like a short… also neutral light seems dimmer. I did manage to bump start it.hopefully I will be able to do that again.any thoughts?
I’m thinkin loose connection on kill switch?
sounds like battery has given up?
Will check voltage when I get home…but seems to be different than when the battery on the hornet went
it wil be, its a diffrent bike!:blink:
my SV1 did it, battery went randomly, was fine on way to a mates, came out to start it, nothing but clicking and the alarm goign a bit nuts- BLIP, BLIP, BLOOPBLLOP.BLIP:D
new battery and bosh, could do a check, id just whack a new one in, how olds the current battery?
Did the starter motor turn over at all when you were bumping it?
You might have a charging issue - check if the bike is charging the battery (with a multimeter).
If not then the first thing to check is the reg/rect.
Where is the reg rect positioned on the CB1000R? - on the Hornet it sits above the valve cover which means it gets really hot which is not good.
I dont think starter was clicking.there was a shorting noise near the battery… Weird that it happened just after I hit the kill switch…
Oh also later on I hit starter and nothing happened… no sound as if I had the killswitch on (or is it off?)
Reg rec in under seat over shock so should be ok from heat.battery is prob from new '09 atkeast I haven’t changed it since owning the bike
That was the starter relay clicking.
Ah ok so now being dead will prob mean battery hasn’t got enough charge…
With electrical problems you’ll just have to go through everything methodically - could be anything from a dodgy switch to charging etc.
Check the battery first.
Has the bike been standing doing nothing for a few weeks with an alarm bleeding power off the battery?
for sure the battery was too flat. take the wiring block off the reg/rec and check the connectors aren’t corroded.
Just about made it home.bike was stuttering all the way if the revs dropped. Was a right twat reving it at lights and slow filtering.
Bike died when I got of to unlock gate.
Battery shows 22.2v with engine off and drops quickly with engine on. Oh and dash is v dim. I think reg/rec is fcuked
22.2v? Are you certain?
Yes :ermm:
Sounds to me like the voltage regulator is broken, which in turn has probably screwed the battery :-(. Indeed I am surprised that the battery would hold that high a voltage for any length of time
i’d say either your regulator or volt meter are shagged 
so is that the reg rec or something else? someone mentioned alternator (stator)
Check the reg rect first of all - you can do it with a multimeter.
