Greetings all. I have a 2009 Monster 696 that suddenly will not turn over or start. The battery is only a few months old (dealer installed AGM) and it's on a battery tender. When I switch on the ignition the head lights are strong bright, the display lights up appropriately after doing its diagnostics and so on. When I hit the starter button NOTHING. No Click, no nothing.
The side stand was up, bike is in neutral, clutch pulled in. Just for the hell of it, I tried all kinds of combinations of the previous sentence with no success. Yes, the kill switch on the right is ON.
I traced the side stand wiring up and unplugged it. No change. I jumped across the two wires in that harness to bypass the side stand circuit. No change.
Are there any more safety switches that could be causing this? Should jumping those 2 wires in the side stand wiring bypass that safety?
Anyone have some insight on what I can check next? There were no CODE issues on the display after turning on the ignition.
Thanks. Curt
