I have a 2004 Sportster. When I turn on the battery, there is a continuous hum. It varies in volume. when I connect the lanyard, instead of the couple of beeps, I get one continuous squeal. I can still start it and it runs fine, but I'm afraid to run it with the squeal. As soon as I disconnect the lanyard the squealling stops.

Any clues?

I just purchased a 2004 Sportster. I've taken it out about 6 times. The other day I was about 5 minutes out and I heard a continuous beep. I stopped and shut off the motor. The beeping continued. I tried to restart, it wouldn't. I had to get towed back home. After I washed it down, I tried again to start it. whenever I turn the battery on, it has a continuous beep, and the motor won't even try to start. The manual talks about overheating. The motors cold.

Can anyone help?
