Quick Video - Typical Not Starting Thread

[LouSCannon]

Heya guys,

Thought I'd take a quick video just to make it easier for one of you to point me in the right direction...

Bike hasn't been turned over for just over a week, been used regularly before then.

Id be checking the battery. It seems flat as a pancake to me.
HTH

battery low charge?

[gary tompkins]

Will it bump?

[Headhunter]

Mine did exactly the same (with low battery) except the orange light stayed on.

[LouSCannon]

Battery charger was reading fully charged... just borrowed next door's and that's reading low charge. Left it charging, will probs start fine later on....

Cheers all...

[gary tompkins]

Do you normally keep it on an Optimate or similar charger Jim?

[LouSCannon]

Optimate is on my list to buy... and it's a long list! :)

Do they do the human equivalent of an optimate?

I'm struggling to get started in the morning myself these days :(

Took mine out of the garage this morning - hit the starter and the beast literally leapt into life........

No ice, dry roads and bearable temps so a quick local buzz was just too tempting to resist........... an hours ride followed by two hours cleaning off the salt.

But well worth it :biggrin:

Someone nicked the battery - (ummm thats happened to me)

Hey - Until I got the manual I didn't know where they were let alone which way round they were supposed to go...... :scratch:

[LouSCannon]

Started her up earlier, as I say, looks like my charger is on the blink... Optimate it is then!

[chris yeatman]

Started mine up earlier, after about 3 months, on the button tho i do have a optimate 4 on it.
but this does remind me to get a new battery cos mine's getting poor.
