Hi all. Any help or advice would be appreciated. I have a 2010 HD 883 Iron. I stored it in my unheated, unpowered garage over the winter. I added stabil to the fuel to prevent freezing but didn't remove the battery or have the ability to keep it on a trickle. No power in the garage. The battery died. I have not removed it yet but I tried giving it a jump with the car. The lights an all come on but I can't get the bike to turn over and start. Could there be something wrong with the starter or is the battery just so dead that it won't hold anything? It will start clicking after trying to start up. Almost like not getting any fuel...

Yes, I know I shouldn't have let it be for the winter and should have managed the battery better...I know.... Thanks for any help!

 

Hopefully you didn't jump it with the car engine running. Check your fuses, battery and ground connections.
If all looks good take the battery out and get it tested.

 

Thanks...No, not with the engine running. Everything looks good. No issues with connections I don't think.

 

In the future remove battery (if possible) while stored for winter and keep it charged. Meanwhile charge battery fully and have it volt & load tested. Most likely the battery is going to be toast. If it happens to be the original battery - just get a new one.

 

It is original battery so I'm not as worried about getting a new one. Will remove it today or tomorrow and let it sit on charger and go from there. Was more concerned about it being something more serious like starter or fuel system
