Mine does the same thing. I put a new gel battery with high cold cranking amps from Advanced Auto Parts. Look to spend 100 bucks. Choke at full choke and it starts right up now. Gold Wings are cold natured. I own 2 and both are. But the battery took care of the cold starts.
my neutral switch is a hit and miss. I'm just curious if it could be the battery. I let the bike sit tonight for a couple hours as I took parts off and turned on the battery the green light came on and then faded away. So I don't have a battery tester so I put it on charge and the lights is nice and bright so I turned the bike off put everything back and see if it will start so I can get to work. why would this happen sometimes and not others. Battery is 1.5 years old Decka battery. I heard replacing the switch is a big job and not a guaranty. thanks for the help
There isn't enough power to start the bike, everything you described is what happens when a motor uses all the power the battery has available and drains it. the battery will recover a small amount of power after sitting for a bit but it won't be enough to start the bike. change the battery and check the fuses.
short in wiring or switch causing battery discharge. charge battery to full charge . see if everything works right. ifturn lights
still dont work, un hook switch to turn signals . wait for the next
day and see if your battery has held charge . should read 12v
or 11.5v . if battery stays up switch maybe shorting out. check wiring for chaffing
Found out that the brake had to be depressed all the way, and not just until you hear the "click". Squeeze the brake hard, and it will start every time. It's a safety feature that Honda has to ensure that the scooter is in control once it's started.
if you are trying to say that the head lights and all other lights are working then you turn the key to the start everything gos dead then you can have a bad battery conection or a bad conection at the starter or it is possable that the battery is bad even if all the cells check full what it is a bad conection between 2 of the cells inside the battery you need to do a load test on the battery to find this out
I had a very similar problem with my 2005 accord a few months ago. Try jump starting the car with jumper cables. If the car starts and everything works normally, then the battery is probably your problem. This turned out to be my problem. Good luck.
