Ian_R Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Hi Guys, Newbie here, hope you can help. Tonight I took my 2001 model R1 out which I have just purchased. After an hours riding the speedo went blank, and then came back on and then went off again. When I then slowed down at a junction the bike just cut out and would not start. When I got it back into the garage, I tried to start it again, but I am only getting a buzzing noise coming from a black box with two screws on it under the seat. I had a look and it has denso 12V written on it, next to the battery. I think this is the CDI unit or starter??? Any help appreciated. Thanks Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I assume you would have done but have you checked the voltage of the battery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_R Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 Checked the voltage across the battery tonight and got a reading of 12.3v to start with then after about 20 seconds it it went down to 11v, so I think it may be the battery. I am charging the battery tonight to see if this is the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
