clampyface Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Hi all had a ride to lancaster the other night pulled into the service station on the m6, went for a piss came back to bike would not start, i think left my oxford heated grips on so had to jump it. Got bike going then decided to carry on the m6 to the lakes with my heated grips turned of, 30 miles later pulled in stopped bike then tried to start fuck all happened, jump it again back on m6 59 miles later at home stopped bike, guess what bike still would not start why, is it the starter switch or coil or battery fucked , but it is a new battery. Thanks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted November 14, 2008 Moderator Share Posted November 14, 2008 You can run a battery down so far it won't come back. When you say you jumped it i take it that the bike started normally other than needing the jump leads. Try another battery if you can to be certain, you may even get it back with a good charge from a GOOD QUALITY car battery charger but whatever happens the battery will never be as good as it was.

Moderator YamaHead Posted November 14, 2008 Moderator Share Posted November 14, 2008 Could be a regulator that's gone south .......hence Not Charging the battery properly. Sounds like a session with a Multi-tester just might pin-point your prob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
