Hello all, glad to see the forum has picked up a bit. It was fairly dormant for a number of years. I wanted to say hello and also highlight a problem I started having with this bike.
I own a 2013 R, approx. 4,600 miles, runs and rides and I absolutely love it. I'm an EV enthusiast, (have owned 6) and am currently on my second full size vehicle conversion. I have done very little to this bike but I know I will have to in the future when the batteries start to degrade or other components start to fail.
Here's the problem that started last summer. I do the normal start procedure. Key on, handlebar switch on, kickstand up, then I press the start button and I hear a click and the green lights on top of the gauge cluster are scrolling as normal. Whether in gear or neutral, I roll the throttle back and ........ nothing happens, complete silence. It may be 2 seconds and other times I've waited hours and days before the motor will finally engage as normal. I don't leave the bike on, I just try it every so often. Has anyone seen or experienced this condition?
With that said, thank you in advance for any info.
