Wondering if any one has had this problem with this model or another E start bike. Never had an electrical problem with a bike yet beside this. Bike has 7 hours on it rode it Friday didn’t wash the bike or anything and went riding Saturday battery completely dead. So bump started it and ran fine like normal but everytime I turn it off the battery was still dead(had a volt meter) so I bought a new firepower battery and now the bike has power but only clicks at the relay and doesn’t even want to turn over at all? The only thing I’ve done is tested the relay and ohm’d it out. The battery tested good as well. 
 

Any help would be greatly appreciated before I take it to the dealership. I guess the warranty was only a month long and had the bike since February lol

Being that it’s a current year bike that costs 10k with only 7 hours on it I’d be surprised if the dealer didn’t help you out whether it’s in warranty or not.

Yeah warranty is only a month apparently, so currently paying full price at $200 an hour lol

keefer made a post on this on instagram recently...i guess water can get into your tc, map switch and make the bike not start...you need a new switch and he linked some protective rubber cover thing, but that might be your problem especially since it happened right after you washed it.

It ended up being a $500 starter on a bike with 7 hours smh, but yes I saw that post about the kill switch I had already had mine sealed with liquid electrical tape. Weird thing for the starter and battery to both go out at the same time but my luck I guess
