Hey folks--long time lurker here.
I'm hoping that someone can provide some guidance as to the proper way to do a starter-draw test on my D675.
For some time now I've been encountering an issue with my 675, where the bike (after sitting for days or weeks) will have enough power to illuminate the headlights, gauges, etc., but will not be able to turn the motor. Sometimes the motor will crank once or twice but not enough to start the bike.
I've replaced the battery 3 times (or used a jump pack) which makes the bike fire up instantly. That, combined with the fact that bike has never had a "dead" battery (it's never been unable to power the headlights) tells me that the starter may be requiring a heavy draw, but I'd like to confirm before having starter replaced.
Can anyone provide any quick guidance as to what I should be looking for (particularly as it might relate to the D675 in doing such a test?
Thanks in advance
