Sorry...if I'm out of line asking this question on a CB1100 forum, I'll understand. But, perhaps this could happen with our CB's and we all might learn something. I was back in Ga. last weekend and went to fire up the KLR. Took it off the tender, turned the key (the lights came on), I then thumbed the starter and the bike went immediately dead, lights out, the engine never turned over. Turned off the key, turned it back on...deader than a door nail. I'm not on any other forum but have communicated with other KLR owners on Facebook on their thoughts. Does anyone have any ideas? The battary was replaced 2 1/2 years ago, it is maintenance free (believe it or not, the orig battery was not). I last started the bike over the holidays...no problem. It was not ridden much last year, maybe 500 miles. Thoughts? Bad battery? Blown main fuse? The tender seems to be fine...
Guth, if you end up deleting the thread, I'll understand. Thanks all.
