Recently my bike (less than 400 miles) stopped starting when using the starter button. It sounds like it wants to turn over but then starts clicking really fast then the ECU loses power then starts back up as if I had just turned the key to the power on mode. It also displays an error code ER_1. At first I thought it was a bad battery (never noticed the error code), so I bought a battery tender and tried charging it over night. no luck. Next time I tried to start it I noticed the error code, and after reading up about the error code on R1, R6, and ATV forums, it apparently means there is a communication failure with the ECU..
I haven't done any major electrical work to the motorcycle except installing a Vagabond FE. Last night I took off the seat and checked all the connections I could find, and if any seemed loose I unplugged it and replugged it. Does anyone have any recommendations or any experiences with this problem? Should I just bring it in and have someone check for a faulty or frayed wire?
