mikestrivens Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 Has some scumbag stolen the battery, or other bits for that matter? Quote
kezzington Posted April 10, 2018 Author Posted April 10, 2018 lucky not ive checked all the electrics i can see / battery nothing is wrong i cant check the battery charge sadly but it run (bum) start the bike left her running for half hour and zero charge still Quote
mikestrivens Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 If it ran ok after bump start it sounds like battery is knackered, get a new one. But also check that the alternator is charging the battery. You need a test meter to show the battery voltage prior to starting and after starting. Quote
kezzington Posted April 10, 2018 Author Posted April 10, 2018 it has to be the alternator then =[ the battery is only a few months old Quote

fastbob Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 i Feel like such an idiot .... my friend came over to take a look pulled out a hidden wire and said it was a blown fuse D= which it was i am such a tool thanks guys Glad you fixed it, so how do you BUM start a bike ? Sounds painful. Next job is to try to find out what caused the fuse to blow . Quote
kezzington Posted April 11, 2018 Author Posted April 11, 2018 Knock it in gear pull the clutch move the bike pet go of the clutch grab the clut h again before it stalls and YES I realise I put bum not bump xD Quote
mikestrivens Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 Did you find out what caused the fuse to blow? So if it happens again you need to investigate further. Quote
