Guys I need help right away.....

New battery now when starting there is a clicking sound (like a small rattle gun) from above the battery area???

I need immediate help or the snowy ride is doomed....

If anyone can help pls call me or msg me and i'll ring you back. 0412 858 865

Cheers

Have you tried clutching it?...same thing happend to me the other week on the 6 think it was compression lock I think they call it...

Im not familiar with the 10, but when the kill switch is 'off' position, and you insert the key and turn to on, then flick the kill switch 'on', what turns on? Can you pull any fault codes?

Sounds like the battery is dead. The clicking sounds are usually a relay cutting in and out as it gains and looses power.

Try a multi meter on the battery to see if the voltage drops when you hit the starter. Should stay above 9.5v while cranking.

Tape, just talking to Madkaw, might wanna give him a call

Tried jumping off the car,relay still rattling... on charge now again and will try again later and the morning. If no good ill swap to a new relay otherwise i'll be bitching on back of T's bike for the snowy ride

And we will want pics ....

Seriously, hope you get it sorted, mate.

Shouldn't do that with a new battery. Try putting it in gear, rolling it back & forth & try again.

What is it with 10s & the snowy ride????

couple extra hours on charge and it started, go figure...

might buy a relay anyway.... going to leave it on all night bastard thing.

Swear it's just to stuff up any plans of getting organised early

Thanks all

cheers

Make sure you park on a hill

There's a shortage of them at the snowies...

Should ride it more often

Its a 10. They never really get going anyway.

what they really need is the mighty vortex of a 12 to suck them along at a decent clip !!
