hi everyone this is my first post on the forum as i've looked through many relevant posts but none seem to have my exact problem and was hoping if the much smarter people of this forum could help me.
the bike was running fine when i first bought it 2 weeks ago but it has since stopped starting or if it does the front cylinder wont fire and only will start to if i rev the bike, the bike also displays a 3 second engine light which i've seen is related to the voltage regulator, but after replacing it the bike didn't start any better (although the lights on the bike looked much brighter).
the battery also gets very hot even after i cleaned the contacts up and has sparked a few times when first pressing the start button then would cut out after the battery arced.
if anyone on here has any suggestions it would be much appreciated as i would like to repair this bike entirely myself if possible because id prefer to spend the money on good gear
thanks, kelan
