I haven't even started bike in about 5 weeks and went today to start while piddling with it and it starts to crank then just clicks. I've had tender on it all afternoon and nothing. Is it just something other than charge or do I just need to get some cables and jump it? Battery was new half way thru summer last year. Thanks

 

If you have the alarm active it eats batteries in a lot less than five weeks,I'd try jumping it but batt could be totalled.

 

Sounds like battery issue. Check terminals to make sure they're tight. Put a charger on it instead of just a tender. Try again. Take battery to get tested.

 

if the battery is totally dead, tender will not work, that just keeps the charge fresh will not charge, you need to toss it on a charger. will be fine

 

I swear by the Optimate, can bring seemingly shot batteries back to life

 

You have a tender. The whole idea is to have it on the bike when it's not being ridden. It's not a charger. Once you get the battery sorted out, keep it hooked up.

 

It's always hooked up. I'm just gonna try the old jump box out then worst case new battery. Thanks all
