Battery discharged fully after very little use over 18 months. bike wont turn over on jump leads or new battery. orange light comes on when starter pressed but no engine rotation at all. tried re programming immobiliser and red key. nothing seems to work. help!
SOURCE: Starter problems
well what you did there was start it but the fans still need the ignition switch to turn on all the electronics. for the starting problem, check the wiring from the battery to the relay. or even the actual ignition switch in the bars. see if the button is bad, that has been a small problem if the internal workings in the button get coroded or get miss aligned.

Hi and welcome to FixYa,
Offhand, it is a known/common failure of the regulator. This is especially so for those models with 2 phase alternators (2 yellow wires). The charging current is shared by only 4 diodes (rectifier). I have replaced in my 907 with 3 phase (3 yellow wires) effectively increasing the diodes to 6 thereby distributing the current and lessen the heat build-up. The charging also improved as noted by brighter headlights. In the 907, the yellow wires passes on the left side of the bike from the regulator to the engine. There are also connectors along the way that gets corroded.
Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa. Happy Holidays.

Sounds like poor connections on the battery.

battary. charge up battary then refit. if you have same problem again you need a new one.

does it start and run when you jump start it? if so, you probable need a higher cranking battery. sounds like the battery isnt powerfull enough.

check out your main fuse, it may have blown during jumping it. or maybe fuse to the starter. will it bump start?
