geophb Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Check the battery voltage before going any further. "seems strong" means nothing. Is it turning over? or is the starter relay just buzzing? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Global Moderator sorkyah Posted January 24, 2020 Global Moderator Share Posted January 24, 2020 ive generally found flooded lead/acid batteries to read higher voltages when nearly dead but they haven't yet dropped a cell ive seen em read 15-16v before an hour or two later they read roughly 7-8 would recommend getting the battery either tested (any auto store/shop) or just get a replacement as "cheap" insurance (there isnt such a thing as a cheap battery ) 1 ATGATT...

mt7fan Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Have my 07 three years now. Always problem with the start after 3 month winterholyday for the bike. So far the battery was good enough to keep on starting for at least one minute. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Global Moderator sorkyah Posted January 24, 2020 Global Moderator Share Posted January 24, 2020 you can, but theres a high possibility of shorting with the larger cables 1 ATGATT... ATTATT, two acronyms I live by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HulkHogan Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 No issues with jumping it using a car battery or jump starter. Engines need fuel, air, and spark! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member DewMan Posted January 25, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted January 25, 2020 It wouldn't be the 1st time a lead acid battery, left on a quality maintenance charger for a length of time, went bad. Yes, I speak from first hand experience. Definitely have your battery tested. Good luck resolving your issue. 1 DewMan Just shut up and ride.

Premium Member fzar Posted January 25, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted January 25, 2020 Does anyone have a replacement recommendation? I have'15 oem battery with 26,700 miles on a schumacher float charger that reads (charging at 95%) when I plug it into to pig tail for the last 2.5 years. It'll read 100% fully charged, plug it out and back in and its 95% again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuasa has alway been my go to for MC lead acid batteries. But I did swap out my OEM Yuasa for a LiFePO battery, but they're pricey. There are a couple threads that discuss the pros and cons of the Lithium Iron batteries. 1 DewMan Just shut up and ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemer Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 It appears all the bases have been covered so the only thing left to say is you'd better hurry and get a ride in before that snow comes back! 1 Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
