HMMM. I had an issue with the starter the other day. So I checked the battery voltage. 12.6 volts. OK so why won't it start?
The problem seems to be related to the brake light switch. The brake light no longer works so I just disconnected the brake light switch and connected the wires together so the brake doesn't have to be on before the bike will start.
My daughter and I hadn't ridden the bike in over a week and it fired right up today. So I'm not sure if the parking brake had anything to do with the battery draining or not. I did measure the current across the smaller red wire my meter never showed a current drop. My guess was the alarm system or remote starter was draining the battery.
Both of these issues were unrelated. The battery was actually being discharged for some reason. This time it was the brake light switch.
The turn buckle in place of the shock is still holding up! It's quite a bumpy ride but since then I haven't had to work on the rear end like I had been with the shock.
