I'm riding a Virago 125. Recently there is some problem with the
electric start up.
It started with last week, when I finish riding home at night, with
no problem at all. The next day, when trying to start up, it can't.
The sound from the ignitor sound like as if the battery is flat,
which I dun understand why all of a sudden the battery can just
died ( the front light, neutral light and signals are still ok
though)
I sent it to the mechanic, and he charged the battery to
full.
It seems fine for a moment. Today I ride again, but from the sound
of starting up it seems that the battery is weakening. The weird
part is in the evening, when I try starting up again, the "battery
flat sound" returns (other lights still ok).
However, when I reverse the bike out of the parking lot a few
steps, and in stationary, I tried again. This time, the bike
suddenly came back to life again (the electrical start up seems to
have no problem at all!) The flat battery sound had just disappear
when I start up. Just now I tried again, and it's working
fine.
The thing I would like to know is - is it possible that the
movement of the wheels could affect the start up process? I'm not
talking about run start. Thanks.
