!! NEED HELP!!!

I washed my bike. After washing it she turned twice but then it stopped turning over and all I get now is when I press the starter I get a chattering sound which seems to be coming from below the battery housing and it wont turn the engine over at all.

Any suggestions so I can narrow it down to a component or if you have experienced this before and sorted it any advice will be welcome.

Charge yer battery, funny noise is the starter solenoid, (big electronic switch thingy)
Izz,

I have been to dundee today no problem started fist time stopped washed the bugs off wiped it down then went to start it.

Could it drain my battery so fast.

I have ignition lights main beam and side.

I seem to have power.

But will check battery

Many thanks

Sounds like the starter solenoid is buggered.

Could have a slight earth leakage (caused by the washing down), preventing full electrical power from getting to your starter. Disconnect and trickle charge the battery whilst it all dries out. You never know your luck.

Don't ever use a boost charger btw as it's a good way of reducing battery life.

Don't know if you used a pressure washer, but you have to be careful with them around any electrical components and wiring etc.

Goodluck

Could be something as simple as a loose battery terminal or connector on the starter/solonoid.
