Hello all,

I own a 2013 Honda CBR 1000 RR - commonly referred to as a Fireblade.
Video Link of problem - 2013 Honda CBR 1000 RR not cranking and losing charge - Will

about a week ago now I was a muppet and dropped the clutch at a traffic light - forgot about a thing called revs and so I stalled - embarrassing but fine so far. I tried starting the bike and it turned over but didn't start - seemed like it was low on charge - the previous owner said it would need a new battery and so I assumed it was this.

I got roadside assistance out and jumpstarted the bike using 2 battery pack jumpers. I rode the bike home and after getting a new battery and charging it (bike has a built in charging port for the charger I have) I cranked it and after a few puts it started - I didn't ride it anywhere because I didn't see the point, all was well.

The next morning I went out to start it and things went downhill. The below video occurred, and has kept occurring every time since - I don't know what is sucking the charge or why it isn't turning over.

I've tried the old battery, the new battery, having the stand up and down, having it in gear with the clutch pulled, having it in neutral. I've had a look and can't see any disconnect wires but I really don't know what is causing it.

Please help me, I really can't afford to take it into a shop and have the problem diagnosed with the rates the mechanics charge in Aus 😓.

Near certain it's a loose magnet in the starter.

It sounds right, after having a look at the inside there's magnet fragments and all the magnets were loose - some sticking to the starter as I pulled out the crank (middle bit with the gear and yellow stuff). I'll order a new one know, thankyou
