Charging Issue

You're not leaving the key fob close enough to keep the system disarmed are you? I know you have @DEcosse keyless at least on the '09. Guessing you have it on the R3R also?

Sorry if it was mentioned before. It just popped in my head as the only time my '16 went dead was when I left the fob in range of the bike for an extended period.

Nope...separated by 30' or so a a steel lock box

Well here's a new twist...battery is hot as confirmed by two different chargers and batt voltage is 12v+....and it won't start...fuel pump relay buzzes a little bit but otherwise nothing. Still digging

Fuse 11 is good

 

[R3Tex]

As a matter of fact all fuses good

Maybe you should check your ground wire!? Undo it completely clean it and retighten it at a slightly different angle.

I would have the battery load tested. May have volts but no amps.

Could have a dead spot on your Solenoid.
Try rocking it in 3rd 4th or 5th gear a give her a shot.

Nevermind...fell victim to the dreaded corrosion. Cleaned it up and bike fired right up
