Ticking on DR650 when starting
Hi all.
I have a dr650se 96 and for some reason, when i press the starter button in, there is a fast ticking sound coming from i think the under the exhaust guard. i think its to do with ignition relay. what do you peeps think? any thoughts? i tried bumping it but no joy. thanks mike |

The clicking is the relay.
You really need to get a cheap multimeter (under £5 in argos, wilkos etc) and check the voltage. It should be over 12V at least... Batteries are one of those "Use it or lose it " items... You need to keep riding or keep it on an optimate etc. The last time you started probably sucked the last of the life out of it's bowels and now it's dead.. I'm 99% sure you need a new battery. Worth checking with a meter first though. And don't buy a cheap ass battery. They're a false economy.
