Hi all
First post for a while, hope you can help.
I have a 2014 Night Rod. It has been sat on trickle charge over the winter, I went out to start it up, turned the ignition then as I hit start there was maybe a small pop noise, just once from the front end of the bike - then all the usual engine / oil lights and pod illumination all went off completely - no red key , no nothing. I turn the ignition OFF, and then there is a low flickering of the dial pod illumination, but only when the ignition is off - if I turn it ON, there is nothing, completely dead.
I have tried to link here to a short video of the ignition Off, then switched to on (when all the lights are killed), but I forgot my old password and have registered a new account so it won't let me post the link which is annoying!
At no point, ignition on or off, do the headlight and tail light circuits seem to come on.
The weird thing is this happened the first time the other day - because of the flickering with the engine off I disconnected the earth and left it a few days - when i reconnected it was the same briefly, and then with no warning everything came on just as it should in first ignition position - but when I went to hit the starter again, it all happened over just the same. The bike is back to earth disconnected in the garage.
I guess the garage could be a tiny bit damp, but not much. Both times it seemed to happen as I hit the starter.
I don't know where to start or how to get my bike to the dealer 25 miles away! Any ideas would be really appreciated.
Thank you
