XT600e Starter issues
Hi Guys
My 2001 xt600e battery just died. And I would be thankful if someone could help me to figure out the issue.
I use my bike every day for to commute to work. The last days it took always a bit longer to start up. yesterday it didn't want to start at all, so I thought it might be the battery. I jump started it with my car, and it started up straight away. Later that day it started up ok again.
But today I tried to start it up and and it hardly did anything, so I took the key out and it kept on trying to start up. So I pressed the kill switch, and it kept on trying.
Then I wanted to unscrew the cable from the battery to make it stop. After few sparks and a lot of smoke I got the battery out.
Noooow, before I replace the battery, what should I look after?
I don't want to wreck a brand new battery.
Hope my question is clear, thanks.
