What started this issue is when I stalled out from overheating in traffic (first time for everything). I managed to kick start the bike after waiting for a while to get home.
Today I tried using the starter and it could not turn the engine more than once. I was able to hear clicking while I held the button down, and it seemed like the batter drained in the process.
I pulled out the battery and checked the levels, topped off two sides that were a little low. I put the battery back in, still no go with the starter, but I have no issues kickstarting.
My first thought was the battery was being drained by the starter, but could it be that the starter is overheating when attempting to use? Not really sure what I should be looking for.
