I am currently stranded in Pismo Beach, CA (no motorcycle shops here). My '08 DL650 won't turn over.
When I turn the key, the fuel injector makes it noise, the dashboard turns on as appropriate but when I turn the key it makes a low grunting noise with a couple of clicks, then nothing. Turning off the key is met with silence followed by a couple of more clicks after a couple of seconds.
I checked all the connections, they seem fine; my stator is "up", the switch on the left handlebar seems fine - not sure what else to check.
Yesterday I did a 250 ride, ran fine. My heated grips were hooked up but not turned on; is it possible the battery is just dead and I need a charge?
