Charging problem on 2002 929 rr1 blade

think u blew a fuse-dont fool w electrical if no xperienc---bike is old and probly needs a new pump relay-battery cud be weak also or not being charged rite----buy a haynes or clymer manual and learn repair or bring it to a private bike mech instead

Battery is bad. Rapid clicking of starter selenoid is because battery does not have enough to hold spring down in selenoid when it sees the starter load. Battery only has a surface charge (nothing of power). Try a new battery or a jump. Should have lights first, then horn, then starter. If no lights, check all fuses.

Actually, if you're talking about Harley's AGM battery, it's a very high quality battery and is competitively priced compared to any other AGM Batteries. An AGM battery will last you about five years as long as you keep it charged. You can get a sealed lead acid battery cheaper. However, you really don't need to know the size of the battery. Just take it out of the bike and take it with you. If you're here in the U.S., you usually have to turn in a "core", part of the EPA thing. They'll just match size of your battery and which side the terminals are on and sell it to you.

Good Luck

ya i have the same problem and the clicking from my battery either the battery is done for therefore wont charge or it didnt charge long enough try an overnight charge if it dosent work then afraid its 50 quid for a new one

It sounds like the battery you are using doesn't supply enough power to start the bike. Using jumper cables starts the bike because of the additional power you are supplying it. Make sure you are using the correct battery. Check to see if there is a more powerful battery available for purchase.

You have many options.
-bring it to a dealership and have them charge / test it.
-buy a charger yourself and charge it.
-buy a trickle charger and charge it yourself.
-buy a brand new battery and not worry about it for a couple years

because the bike is so new i wouldnt suspect the stator i would invest in a battery, a good battery is crucial for bikes. once you get a good battery in it check the voltage at the terminals when the bike is running(you should see around 13 to 14 volts). you can have the battery load tested at a batteries plus or an auto part store so you dont waste your money, but once you kill a bike battery there pretty much junk. the stators in motorcycles barely put out enough power to run the bike and pretty much trickle charge the battery. they rely on the battery to pick up the slack. get a battery from walmart there cheap and ive had one in my bike for two years and its fine, stay away from the over priced ones they dont do anything but slim down your wallet.

i know this sounds silly ,but when you bought the battery had it been activated,new batterys are critical in their first charge and you cannot use a standare type automotve charger,if bought dry the battery needs to have the acid filled ,left to sit for at least 2 hours prior to charging,once it has sat for the 2 hrs with the acid in,the new battery will need to be charged with a "cteck"or similar type charger for at least 13 hrs before it can be put into normal service,what happened with yours i think is that sure you gave it a charge but it has only recieved a "surface charge"and will be usable for a very short time,it may recover for a brief period and go again untill the surface charge dissipates,(or in other words ..runs out of charge)best thing you can do with the battery is take it to a auto electrician and have the battery cycled and conditioned,this is not expensive to do and will give you piece of mind,after conditioning the battery shouldngive excellent service,i have the battery in my goldwing coditioned about every 12 months and i have the same battery that was in the bike when i bought the bike 8 years ago and still no electrical or battery problems(costs about $25 to get it done)once a year but that beats $280 for a new one...hope this helps

Hi!

Take a look on the generator, thats the one charging the battery, the coals in the generator might be needed to be replaced, there are two of them, Also check the two cables from the generator so they arent dameged or broken.
You can take the bike to a repaire shop and ask them to help you measure if the generator gives enough power to charge the battery or on, the can measure the power on the generator and they can measure the power coming to the battery.

Im sure the the problem is the generator or the cables from the generator

Good luck
Nic

found you a free pdf service manual here

though if it was a problem it would have blown the 10amp fuse????Don't rely on on whether the bike will start at a gas station to determine if the charging system is working. Get the multimeter out and do a proper test. Should be getting about 14.5 volts @ around 3K RPM. It's too easy of a test to to just skip. If it is charging then start looking for something else. Was the new battery properly charged to begin with? Loose battery connection? I suppose the GPS could be too much but you said that it was dying last november so I would suspect something else. P.S. you need a properly charged battery to get an accurate reading for the charging test. ,,,
