Hi all, Last weekend i dropped my bandit 600, fortunately only little cosmetic damage occurred. She started straight up and drove on, about 2 hours riding later though she cut out when stopped at a junction, and had the symptoms of a dead battery as the oil light was very faint with ignition on and no neutral light at all. There was no click or anything when pressing starter button. i checked the battery and it has full charge. i managed to push start it anyways and the second i turned on my headlights she died again. push started her again and turned on the lights whilst moving and she stayed going but gave a backfire. lights worked, but every time i pulled up it cut out. any ideas anyone would be very much appreciated??
