[QUOTE="ionbeam, post: 1263660, member: 277"] [COLOR=#b22222]1. My, my you have a clamp on amp probe that can measure actual cranking current, this is the right tool for the job! Clamp it on, zero the DC scale, set it to hold the DC reading, crank and then read the value.[/COLOR] 2. If your battery reads 12.2 volts the meter may not be accurate (probably not the case, but worth mentioning) 3. If your battery reads 12.2 volts your trickle charger isn't working 4. If your battery reads 12.2 volts your battery is bad 5. [COLOR=#0000ff]If your battery reads 12.2 volts you didn't trickle charge it over night as was asked for in a previous post[/COLOR] 6. If your battery really is 12.2 volts and it wasn't trickle charged it is way under charged and is sitting with only a ~30% charge and will be very weak 7. If your battery wasn't charged you can't properly troubleshoot your starting problem. I'll ask again, does your clock and trip odometer reset when you try to start your bike? For now I'll back out and see where things go. You can just start throwing $$$ and parts at it until it works or troubleshoot the problem and find the root cause. [/QUOTE]
