Crash1647545504 Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 My bike has been sitting in Denver since November when i got out here. I came down this week to put fresh gass in and ride, but the battery was pretty damn drained and died after trying to get the bike started. put a 12v jumper pack on it and the bike started right up, so i threw a charger on it overnight. is it normal for a batter to just kinda go dead after sitting a few months?

Mitch Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 The man speaks the truth, had mine on one all winter and it started right up. Pick one up at the pony for 30 bucks, you'll be glad you did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grease monkey Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 You may also want to check the water level in the battery, most bike batteries are the old maintenance required type. If it's low just go to the grocery store and buy some distilled water. Using the distilled water fill the cells up to the required level.

supldys Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 I just start mine up every couple weeks and let it run to full temp, maybe take it down the street if its not too bad out. Then when spring rolls around Im ready to go. Otherwise get a tender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash1647545504 Posted March 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 i rode it for an hour yesterday, prolly not the best idea since i am sick, but it was worth it haha. took it to the store to get meds and stuff, stalled out once and runs a little off, but i am guessing it is because of the altitude change.
