My old battery wasn't holding its charge well and would go dead without a week of use, so bought a new battery thinking it was a simple solution.

However when installing the new battery, the bike keeps trying start even with the ignition set to off or lock. Turning to kill switch on and off has no effect and it keeps trying to start but not turning over. Any ideas where we should start looking?

Thanks.
