Hello all,
I was wondering if I could get some help diagnosing a starting problem.
The bike: 1979 cb750k 10yr anniversary edition
The problem: I have headlights, brake lights, neutral and oil indicator lights, but no horn, blinkers, or start. When the starter button is depressed there is no sound. No click, no attempt to turn over.
The full story: I left the bike outside at a friend's for a few days and it did rain a bit. Bike started fine, but I noticed slow turn signals on the 20 minute ride to my brothers. I parked, went inside, and ten minutes later I experienced the problem above. I checked all the fuses, they look fine. The next morning I had dim turn signals for a few seconds and then nothing.
At this point I took a voltage reading of the battery and it read 10.6. I figured that was my problem, easy fix. I bought a new battery and it started right up. I let it run for about 10 minutes then shut it off for a few hours. I came back, started it again, and rode for about 1/2 an hour (light rain). Shut it off. Came back in another 1/2 an hour and am now experiencing the same initial problem.
Any suggestions appreciated. I love this bike and don't want to waste any of these last days of summer.
