Bike died in Brighton

[Guesty]

Looks like a flat battery but only just (3 days ago fitted a 14Ahr motobatt glass fiber battery) started her today about 10 times but done 4hrs down the motorway too.

Possibly the alternator packed up?

Symptoms?

any clicking from the starter motor?

Do your headlights work?

Have you checked the battery connections to make sure they well connected.

Doesn't sound like a battery problem if you have been running it for 4 hrs and with umpteen starts..
did the charge light come on an any time?

Consider other areas where the starter circuit can fail.

Chuck it into 4th gear and see if she fires when push starting down a steep hill..

Also, why did you replace the battery in the first instance?

Good luck trying to bump start a 1200 twin. I used to live on an ideal hill. But no matter what gear I used it would just lock the back wheel. Dropping my weight onto the seat when dropping the clutch made all of no difference.

It's been done before. Had to push the bike through M4 roadworks in the morning rush hour, I was not a popular person that day.

whatever you do don't bend over to fix it.
