Bad relay replaced, now dead batt?

[mattb]

Hi, one of my relays was buzzing this morning when trying to start my bike - I went to the local moto shop and got a replacement.  That one buzzed a bit when I first tried starting the bike, but it appears I was getting power to the lights on the dash, but the lights dimmed out quick like the battery was dead...

Do I just need to try giving this thing a jump or is there likely to be something else busted?

thx

Most likely,  the buzzing relay was  a symptom of a weak battery.  Charge and load test battery first.

+1 It's more than likely your battery. Charge it up.

You guys called it -- I tried jumping the bike off of a car with the old battery, but that was a no-go.  I replaced the battery with a new one and the bike starts right up now.  I suspect the old one went bad, the guys at the local moto shop put it on the charger and they'll test it tomorrow...

Glad to hear you got it sorted out
