I just bought this 2017 Vintage from a non-Indian dealer. They put a new battery in it and it started fine at the dealership.
I trailered the bike home and it started okay. But as I was idling, I thought it was in neutral and released the clutch and of course since I was in gear with the brakes engaged, the motor died. After that it would not start. It would not even turn over. I thought it might be the kickstand but no. In neutral with the kickstand up, it won't turn over.
I wondered if it had something to do with the ABS? When it is in gear and the clutch engaged, the bike will not roll smoothly. Feels like the brakes are engaged! Something tells me that whatever happened when I released the clutch in gear with the brakes on caused something to happen!
It is a new battery and I put a trickle charger on it to test if any battery problems. The battery is charging and I'll see what happens if I get a full charge or if the battery is defective.
