2012 Griso SE. I had the bike since March and put about 3,800 trouble free miles on it so far. It has lived on a battery tender since I have had it. The bike has never sat for more than a week or two and gets a good ride every time I get on it.
Did a 150 mile loop ride yesterday and when I got home my wife’s car was blocking the garage so I shut off the Griso and went to move her car. When I tried to start the bike the lights came on and the dash light up but when I hit the started button, nothing. Stabbed the started button about a dozen times and it finally started.
Later on in the day, I wanted to wash all of the road salt off the bike and it did the same thing. Turn on the key, the lights and dash light up but when I hit the started button, nothing. Tried to start it about a half dozen times and then it starts.
I read about a fix to this problem by running a new wire directly from the battery to the starter relay. Will this fix my problem? I want to make sure this is the same issue as I read about before I go messing with it.
With the bike only being 10 months old should I try this fix or just bring it back to the dealer (100 mile trip).
Just want to make sure I don’t make matters worse. Thanks.
