Any help here would be great.
Ok. Was gonna ride the bus to work on mon. Wouldnt start. Press the start button and it cranked over once and died (was in a bit of a hurry and it was light so didnt notice the headlight). Tried again and same prob. Put the trickle charge on it mon night. Tues evening tried it. Light came on but would kick over just. Put back on trickle and tried tonight. The lights are bright, blinkers work, brake lights and high beam work. But it kicks over once then all power turns of. Then comes back on TRE shows d for a second then 0. Press start it just kicks over once and same thing.
Any Ideas?
Oh I tried putting it in 1st gear rocking it then trying to start it. Same deal. The battery has lots of power but she wont crank over. Starter motor or a fuse?

Which year model? I'm sure I read that some of the early Busas had such high compression that they destroyed their starter motors.

Only the 99 /00 one's do that, you know, the fastest one's.

Poss battery. You can have 12.4 v showing but if theres a prob with the plates and the CCA isnt high enough then its like trying to start it with a 12v torch battery. I see it all the time on cars. Also try cleaning battery connections. Have to be scrupulously clean

Yep, I'd be trying the battery. If it's the original battery then it's 5 years old and possibly at the end of it's life anyway, so you haven't lost anything replacing it, even if it doesn't solve the problem.

Have you tried recharging the battery. If you know its charged fully, attach a voltmeter to it, hit the start button and see what the voltage drops to. Anythin much less than 10v and its a goner

The starter motor wasn't able to cope with the high compression of the motor. I think it was a warranty fix.

You can definately push start the bike.
That was my only means of getting it going at one point - for about 4 months!!!

I had two coppers help me push start my Kwakka 650 back when I was an apprentice. That episode helped balance out my opinion of the police.
