Hi, I bought a 650 dragstar a couple of weeks ago and have been meaning to join here for a while but have now been spurred on by it dying. Worked and ran fine for the first week and a half then last Wednesday, after riding it back from work I left it a couple of hours, definitely no lights or anything left on, and when I came to start it it just made a clicking sound and refused to start. RAC man came out and tested the battery and concluded the battery was knackered and needed replacing. I put a new (GS) battery in and it worked fine until this evening when exactly the same thing happening. I jump started it and then rode it about 15 miles, initially on the motorway and then through traffic for about 5 miles. Then at lights it died again. This time everything went off and when I hit the starter it wouldn’t even click, lights and everything went off and even the neutral light was hardly lit. I have removed the battery and it is now on charge but any suggestions would be very gratefully received. Thanks a lot for any help in advance, much appreciated. Angus
