Hey guys, i am new to the forum and new to riding. I bought an 81 xs400 with about 18k miles. The bike is in really good condition,however since i am still practicing for my drivers test, i dont really drive too far from my house. Anyway, after about 3 minutes of driving around the block, i tried going up a gear from 1 to 2. well i got stuck at Neutral, and couldnt go to 2, i was starting to lose speed at this point so i decided to go down to 1. which then suddenly turned off my bike. I pulled over and walked my bike into my school's parking lot because i was sitting on the road trying to kickstart the bike with no luck. But suddenly my bike started making this clicking noise. In this video
all that i did was turn on the bike, flipped the switch from off to engine, and pulled out the clutch. Suddenly this weird clicks started occuring. Anyone know what it is? Seemed to be coming from the battery. The guy who sold me the bike rigged the battery in a way that i can charge it when the lights get dimmed, and i was running on a full charge.
Thanks in advance guys.
