Hello to all on the CB 1100 Forum members.... It's been awhile since I have posted since joining in April of 2015, I hope all is well despite the current World situation. I have an issue with my 2014 CB 1100. I had to replace the stock battery in my bike because I thought it had gone bad being the original battery purchased with bike. My bike has always been on a trickle charger when not being ridden, which is not as much as I would like to. My battery charger is a smart charger which tells me the battery is fully charged. Yet my headlight comes on when key is turned, but when I hit starter button, my solenoid clicks!!!. I have 2800 original miles on her. I would hope the solenoid is not defective or something is loose? I live in Northern Arizona south of the Grand Canyon, and the bike is garaged always. I wonder if a mouse has chewed the wiring someplace which drains the battery. I intend to buy a factory manual to possibly troubleshoot this. I am trying to find video's online which show how to test for a small voltage leakage with a volt meter. Any info is appreciated, A Blessed and Merry Christmas to all of you and yours!
