I've noticed recently my 05 FZ won't turn over when hitting the ignition switch (although the dashboard lights up). I usually just flip the engine cut off back and forth and then hit ignition and that usually does the trick but it seems to be getting worse.
I know first thought is battery but I replaced mine 1.5 year ago so it should be good right? Anyways I plugged it into the a battery tender and it was at full charge within an hour. Ran into same issue this morning, hit ignition nothing happened, fidgeted it with engine cut off and that appears to get it to work. Hence is there a fuse/relay that could be due to either the engine cut off or ignition switch? How would I check that?
On one instance after getting the bike started the bike did cut off after traveling a few feet but was able to get it started again (this was before recharging via battery tender) not sure if that helps diagnose the issue?
