TT600RE 03 electrical misery
Hello all. A few days ago I stalled my bike pulling onto my property. Realised when I turned the ignition off the starter was still spinning. Key was out, kill switch was over but still going. Then intermittently turned a couple more times then nothing.
It ran the battery down to 1.6v when I checked.
Anyway today I tried a good known working fresh battery. As soon as I connected it the starter motor stated spinning for a few seconds (no key in & ignition off) then stopped and the battery started smoking/squeaking and getting hot at the top between terminals.
I'm going to check handlebar switch gear, ignition barrel connections it I can get to it, starter motor wiring and connections.
Anything else I need to look at and or test/replace.
Bike is an 03 tt600r
Thanks.

Yes, sounds like typical starter relay (contacts welded together) usually caused by old or chinese relay, or if battery is tired.
