Just sorted a deal for my son on a Kawasaki ER5 500.It was sold with a flat battery problem as neede to be bump started.I charged the battery till it sat at 14volts.On attempting to start the engine it first tried to turn over then stopped at the same time as a loud"tapping sound"was heard.On investigation the sound was coming from what I believe is a Relay under the right side panel with some heavy wires coming from it.Is this a start Relay? I again attempted to start and initialy would turn the engne over briefly before the noise started and the engine ceased to turn over.It sounds like a sticking Solenoid but could also be a dud battery even though I charged it up. Thanks for any info or pointers to a diagnosis.
