...... new battery seems to have done the trick... Tested the voltage at 5000 rpm after a short ride. Seems to be right around 14.25-30.... lets hope that was a bad battery and this is over. I gotta get back to work.

Took the battery around the corner to get it load tested for shits and giggles. Someone here said it would fail a load test and I think it did. Dropped down to 9 volts. I did this because I put it on my 500 yesterday and it fired right up... but it was fully charged when I turned it off. I...

Good advice.

And that will cause the bike to not run?

Went to run that test. Battery reading 13.15 volts. Turn the key and not even a cluster light. Tried a couple times and one time the cluster came on like 7 seconds after turning the key? Battery fully charged. Put it on my 500 and it fired right up. Im not a master mechanic... I AM however an...

No worries mate. I tried the battery on my other cbr. Its a 500 2013 so it should be close enough in modernity to replicate the problem. Before I even charged the battery the cluster came on and upon trying to start I got clicks. Battery should be near done charging in a minute. What I'm gonna...

I appreciate this but even at lower voltage on this very bike I got clicks and a dim headlight and the fuel injection would still prime as well as the cluster light up with the last dying battery when trying to start it. Something else is wrong.

but is it normal at 10.86 volts to have NO headlight when the key is turned? Even a dim one?

Just hooked up a volt to the battery. Its sitting at 10.86 volts. When I turn the key as though I want to start it, it drops down to 0.33 volts. Same whether the ignition switch is on or off. Its as though it isnt being charged. Gonna throw it on my charger and try it on one of the other bikes...

It has the same connector its just missing the 3rd wire. I didnt have to splice anything. And no if the cluster isnt lit the bike wont start. I dont even get the dead battery "tick tick tick" Press the starter and absolutely nothing. While running on the freeway when the cluster blinked the...

I thought so. My 250 wont run without a battery. Loose cable = sputtering engine. Didnt wanna sound like a dick. I'm gonna rule out this battery issue in a couple hours. Got 2 more bikes to stick it on and see. I really feel somethin else is going on here. I will test it with a meter as well

Will do. I'll have some tinkering to do a bit later.

low profile blinkers. New battery. the blinkers arent the same type of connector as the stock ones. They fit the bike but they are missing a third wire that the stock ones had(not sure what thaats for). Also.... The bike plain old died on the freeway on me yesterday morning. Cluster starts...

I think its the stator -.-

The pop is coming from under the seat. seems to be at the starter relay. At least I believe thats what the device is. The lights and dash turn off COMPLETELY and dont come back on. As though I just disconnected the battery. Not dim but DEAD. Dimming usually happens normally yes. This isnt that...

Battery literally purchased 3 months ago. I'll have a look at what you suggested. I'm no master mechanic but I have done a lot of my own work on all 7 of my bikes. Never been great with electrical issues. I am not entirely sure I believe its a battery this new because when I bumped the bike...

Definitely some sort of short I cant find because I bumped the bike and it lit up and then started fine. Maybe something loose?

Batttery is like 3 months old... its definitely some kind of short or something. The bike doesnt even try to start. When I turn the key the cluster doesnt come on at all. I did see the headlight come on very dim after a delay and slowly die. I have been noticing a kind of loud pop every time I...

Bike wont start. The problem had been developing for a couple weeks I believe. I tightened the battery terminal and it seemed to fix the issue but I checked it again and its tight. However the issue has returned. My cluster light began flickering and I could hear the engine dying and restarting...

I had an 03 and 05 600rr. Beautiful machines :)
