Let's start off with my 1st post being a dosey of a problem.
I'm needing some help. So I'm going to the well of expert riders.The other day my 02 UC wouldn't start, no click no nothing. I checked the battery and it was dead. With the battery removed, I used a VOM to test for a wiring short and between pos battery cable and frame ground (or the neg cable) there was a direct short (continuity) between the two. I traced that down to the air horn circuit and unplugged the horn relay. Now when I test there isn't direct continuity anymore, but there is like 54meg ohms and if I hold the VOM leads on the battery cables the ohms steadily decrease. I then put the charged up battery back in the bike and when I turn the switch to ignition and not starting the bike I hear a terrible static/buzzing/hum type noise coming from the speakers. This is with the radio on or off. The bike starts fine and runs fine, but still has this horrible noise. I found nothing in my service manual or on other forums. Any ideas???? Please help, it's 60 degrees today and the weekend is suppose to be nice fro riding.
