Default Re: Crazy speedo/electrics - jetwash?

You know, you should also check your battery. I had something similar too (although I would take vardypeeps's advice first). The problem was the charging relay which left my battery dead. Obviously, I could not start it easily. After I had managed to, a mile or so later, it started chocking (not enough current to fire the spark plugs) and soon after, it died for one last time. When I was trying to start it, all the electrics would go haywire.

When I checked it, the battery was completely dead and the charging relay was no good. A real simple way to check if the battery is completely dead is trying to honk. If there's little or no power, you'll know

Right now, I'm waiting for a new relay (got a second hand one off a gsxr 600 for about 60 euros).. The battery took a couple of charges before she came back to life, but without the relay it would be the same problem all over again.

Hope it helps and good luck with it
