its just happened again ! TWICE

was in stratford sat at lights and noticed my TURN light was no longer flashing and is just on solid all the time hne i activate the indicators - i have looked at them since getting back, they are all coming on, but not flashing !

anyway i came to a stop at som etraffic lights and it just went on me, wouldnt turn over from the starter button at all, so pushed it to the pavement - luckily a guy came and gave me a bump

rode it for a good 30 miles, no worries, then came up to an island, bike was idling at 1,500 rpm, then just died again and wouldnt turn over - had to bump myself this time ! and get back home

got home, turned ignition off, then back on, tried to start with switch, and nothing, just clicking noise !

new battery ? or something worse - the indicators no longer flashing seems very odd !

hi dude, i've got a spare indicator relay if you want it? its off an L but i'd imagine it'd work providing the plugs are the same.

doubt the relay will have anything to do with it mate, more than likely the battery, did we try that spare battery i got on your bike or did it not fit? can't remember?

no didnt try the spare - have brought a battery trickle charger, should be here tomorrow, so hoping that will help !

going to try to get a new battery too - annoying thing is could have got one for cost from my old work, but its an hours drive, so not really worth it !
