Hi everyone,
Something weird is happening to my Brutale. I guess the best way to describe the issue would be to post the timeline of events.
1. I had an issue where the starter was clicking but not turning the engine. Replaced the starter solenoid with the Yamaha one ( as per this thread - Starter relay). Although the relay I received had the fuse on the right side (and the extra wire as well). So when I replaced it, I also reversed the wire connections (see the attached pic).
2. The bike was running well, thought I did not ride it. So started it a few times to check that replacing the relay has fixed the problem.
3. A eek later I tried to start it and realised that the battery is dead. I don't ride the bike a lot (maybe once in a month or so) so I thought this might be ok.
4. Connected the battery to the charger for 15min thinking that it might be enough for the bike to start and then it will recharge as I'm riding.
5. After 15min of charging the battery, the bike did start normally but the battery indicator was on. I thought this was fine as had it turning on a few times before when I started the bike after not riding it for weeks. usually, it would go off after 10-20 minutes of riding
6. I went for a ride, but after a few minutes of riding, the dash display turned off, dash lights blinked a few times and then the engine stopped. When I turned the ignition off an on again - everything looked normal, except that the battery looked almost dead and the engine wasn't turning
7. Recharged the battery again (though it is weird that the charger showed "fully charged" after an hour of charging. Took it to a Battery World shop, they tested it and said it is good working condition
8. Now, the main issue that after all that the bike starts, but the battery indicator is on, the engine sounds like a muffled tractor and the bike has like 20% of it's power (feels like the engine is misfiring or something like that)
Any suggestions please ?
I have no idea how to tackle this
