[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1055991, member: 19880"] The battery is reading 13 V after being on the charger? To me, that indicates a dead battery. It may show some voltage but have no capacity to produce any current - i.e. voltage drops to near zero whan any load is put on it. See what the voltage does under any load. If voltage under 4-5 amp load remains over 12 V, then I would agree that the ignition switch is most likely. Get the battery checked first, otherwise you will be wasting a lot of time chasing stuff that doesn't need fixing. Try a boost from an auto battery - or better still try starting with an auto battery after removing the battery from the bike in case the battery has a dead short. [/QUOTE]
