so in my opinion its the relay or regulator? the relay clicks normal 1 per start. then battery tarts to dies. went and bought a new battery at walmert just to test it and turned on. then i turned it off and tried to start same think crank but not turning on. so i charge the walmart battery to full and do it again same thing. Noticed the battery very hot when touching it. returned walmart battery, doubts its the battery. In april i did have an accident where the tank and tail took a beating , the battery tray was hanging when i rode off. maybe sort messed something up and now its when it gave up, is that possible? please help

it jump starts fine when hopping on it lol

if the rr is bad, you’ll be able to tell with a multimeter or voltage meter. You’ll have voltage readings way low or way high. safe bet if you see 16+v, regulator is a goner.

Else, sounds like a battery. if you can jump it and it starts / runs, that -should- be the battery.

i just put in a brand new battery tried to start it over and over and heard a pop then another one wtf? i hope i didnt mess anything major. the fuses on the relay solenoid are good so what other fuses might of popped and where can i find it?

2012 13k miles only. i did get in a wreck where the tail and tank took a hard hit in april.. Now replaced regulator and relay still hear a popping noise and burnt smell but checked the fuses that i see on the front left and they're all good. so ignition issue or stator im assuming?

Starter motor was the problem, now it starts instantly with no issues.
