RE: Bike not starting? (tick tick)

Thanks for all the replies folks, really glad to see them.

As for push starting it, I did try that, and it was a no go.....The bike would semi start up for just a second and it would die almost as soon as it started....So that's a no go

I'm going to go out this weekend and check on all of my connections and what not. I'll let you know how it turns out...

Thanks alot!

Yes, there's fuel in the bike, I rode it home after it was repaired at the shop, I went out to start it a couple days later and this is what was going on....I don't see how a battery dies in 2 days though? and when I charge it, it says "Battery Charged" so it must be some sort of wiring connection like you've said or something?

RE: Bike not starting? (tick tick)

Trel, you are saying that you do not have a volt meter to check this? After fully charged, the battery is prolly like 12.7-14 volts. If the key is in the off position, keep your leads on the battery. Does it drop in volts?

edit: sorry, use a volt meter. I maybe did not specify too clearly.
