Won't start up. Power issue
So a few weeks ago I had to replace my right rear blinker. I changed it and then the switch wasn't really working well so I started poking around with a multi meter. I may have shorted something but I'm not sure. Anyway, I had a bad battery, went to autozone got a new one and it was bad. Swapped it for a somewhat working one and it turns over but only one turn before it starts clicking. It's a 2008. Only mod is the running tail light. I have it hooked up to the ground on battery and one of the orange cables on the bottom of the Fuze box. Today I pulled the bike apart looking for a hot wire. I hooked up the voltmeter to the ground on battery and the ground wire that goes to the battery. It was reading around 11volts. The battery is probably bad by now. I have been push starting the bike for a few weeks. When the bike is running the battery reads around 14.5 volts. Anyhow, I was looking for a hot wire and I found that the red wire running from the Starter Relay when unplugged would make the voltage reading go away. Also when everything was hooked up I disconnected the regulator/rectifier red cable hookup and the volt reading went away again. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I still have warranty on battery. Any suggestions on good battery's for these bikes? Autozone battery's suck. It's a gold duralast
