    Question Startin issue

    Lords of knowledge(ye who take interest in thy Falco) Placed new battery in thy steed and lo-behold beasty starts good and strong like ox. This morn hark and beast stubborn to awaken, it's eyes open and flicker but for brief moment and spur from starter button bekons noo response. Coupla goes at turning on and off, the red led winks and goes blank. Key on off on, fiddle with stand and on off button got it going. Stopped at servo and again same problem. Any ideas oh wise ones of thy net?

    Having starting issue with my bike as well. New battery and just replaced starter relay. Went to start it, fired up but ran rough kept dying. Messed with it start and stall. Battery dies, Recharge.Now just clicks like battery dead. Bout ready to just sell the damn thing. More hassle then its worth starting to seem.
