Hi all, another post asking stupid questions, from newbie 3xv owner
Right, took the bike for mot yesterday, ( passed with flying colours) started 2 nd kick, no probs, only 2nd time ive ridden it. This morning got bike out to give it a proper ride, and.....flat battery. ( I know, their known to be not great) stuck a charge in the battery, it charged to 13 volts, but started falling as soon as I put a tester on it. Took a chance and took it out, stopped for fuel, and you guessed it , bike wouldn't start. luckily I was near sloping road so, wheeled it down the road a bit ,coasted down , and bumped it first time, took it for a blast, changed up and down with no problems at all. On arriving home the bike wouldn't go into neutral for love or money, tried and tried, woudlnt go in, turned off bike, and when I tried to restart stone dead, so new battery on order. Put bike in garage, took battery out and recharged, stuck it back in bike turned on, and headlight came on but no dash lights, turned off then on again, oil light on, clicked gear lever up, bike went in to neutral ok , green light on. has bumping it done it a mischief? ive recently changed the gearbox oil with elf htx 740, recommended for dry clutch motors. Am I being a tw@t or is something amiss?
