    Hi all. A very frustrating issue, with my RE Bullet 500. Battery is tested and fully charged and starts the bike well, but after running it, even just idling for a few minutes when you turn off the ignition and try to restart the bike "nothing". No horn, no lights no "N" for neutral indicator , nothing. No ticking sounds, just simply dead. Each time i have checked the fuses all ok, wiring looking good, connections to battery and frame excellent. Battery good, even slipped a brand new one in and same issue, motor starts, turn it off and nothing. Wont start for few hours or more after ignition has been turned off. Any clues???

    Try ringing Motomax, Osborne Park, WA. They’ll help you with some suggestions over the phone. Other than that, try another site perhaps?

    Here's a site.
    Quite a number of people with similar issues. Didn't spend much time looking for a solution though

    Money is on stator/regulator.
    Anytime i read "i even bought a new battery and its doing the same " confirms it lol. 

    Charge the new battery. Start your bike and put a multi meter on your battery. 

    Less then 13v and u need to check ur stator and reg.
