1977 R100S: Can you help me figure out what's wrong?
Ok, I'll probably be using this thread to mention any problems I encounter, instead of cluttering the forums.
So, I took out the battery to let it charge. It is an AGM battery, and my charger said it was sulfated, so I let it do the repair. It finally started showing signs of taking a charge, but won't charge to 100%. Seeing as this is the first AGM battery I have every had, I wanted to try to save it. Unfortunately, it doesn't have enough power to crank the engine (as you'll see in the video I'm going to link). So I'll have to replace that battery when I get money. I'm worried something in the electrics might have gotten rongled as well, as the engine will only turn when the kill switch is set to "Off." The headlight will also need attention, as the low beam appears to not work, and the high beam will turn on, but will only stay on if I apply pressure to the switch (indicating a bad or corroded contact).
