Hi,
ST1100L 1990 UK
Hope someone can throw some light on this for me.
Only had the ST a few weeks. Started the it this morning with no problem. Went inside to get my gear on and tried to retstart. The starter turned mementarily and then nothing. No lights, horn, dashboard lights, nothing. Turning the keyy to "Off" brings the clock to life, turning it back to "Run/On" puts it off again.
I then used leads to jump start the bike and it started very easily - no hesitation and ran fine. Disconnected the leads from the bike and it continued to run fine. Turned on the headlights and it killed it. Dead. No gradual petering out just killed it dead.
I suspect the alternator at this point. Any advice?
I've loved riding it so far and really want to get out on it again soon!
Thanks in advance,
Ian.
