After charging my battery and even using different batteries, my vxr 650 will start only about 4 times before the battery will not turn over the engine any longer. When I try to jump it, the wires get really hot. It is almost like I have a direct short somewhere. This has been a great father/son project thus far...ie patching/repainting, basic maintenance. We just replaced the solenoid so I don't think it would be the solenoid. Any other suggestions on how to test would be much appreciated.
