Guest Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Ok so, I went and met up with some friends today, stood chatting for 2 hours.. and one of them was playing around on the dash, indicators etc, and think left the ignition on...I went to leave, and it wouldnt start, I would turn the ignition and the dash would flicker on then off, othertimes it would stay on until I pulled in the brake, then the dash would disappear and come back when i released the brake. Even the starter didnt work at all. So I'm guessing the battery drained? I went back 30 minutes later and had another go, the starter made a weird noise, not a deep heavy start but more like, a kind of light squeek? and the dash stayed on.What now? Do you think if I go back later it might start seeing as it seems like the longer I leave it the 'MORE' it does, I have no idea if its even possible to jump start a bike?

Guest Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 get it on a trickle charger quickly or youll need to buy a new battery, you could have bump started it....and still could but then you need to go for a decent run with no lights to put charge back into the battery.

Guest Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Sorted.I went back and gave it another go on the way to halfords for a trickle charger, the battery seemed completely dead but the longer I left it, seemed to build up power, so I got it started.Cheers Bulli.Thank god for that It was outside a school and I was cringing at the thought of kids thinking "ooh lets have a sit" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
