Hi guys,
Two years ago I bought my 2006 dl650 with about 80.000 miles on it. After the first few months of riding the first problems started. On some occasions the battery would be dead after just driving it. On other occasions the battery would stay normal for weeks on after before the problem would start again. The battery was fine and so was the charging system on the bike. This problem resolved itself after a while so I was happy.
Recentley however, new electrical problems started. At first the low beam would be out. High beam worked fine. I checked online for a solution and I have cleaned the starter button, the left handlebar controls, checked the big connector in the left fairing, the connectors on the back of the radiator, and the fuses.
The low wil work sometimes, but not always. I also had a problem with the indicators that would not work sometimes. On top of this, I noticed that the computer had reset itself one time because the clock on the dash went back to 1 pm when I started the bike.
What can cause these problems? A break in one wire seems not the case to me because I have multiple issues. Could it be a bad ground or something else? Thanks in advance!
