Good news is I got the Fosgate lids in, and the fairing fit back on (barely). Now, I try to start the bike, and the battery only goes to 12 volts, then drains quickly when trying to start. Obviously, the bike will not start now. It cranks, but it seems as if the battery is drained. It turned on just fine yesterday with the amp and no speakers. Speakers in and now I cant start.

 

Time to break out the tender.

 

Jump that beast off. Some of the best money I’ve spent is on a small jump box I keep in my saddlebag.

 

I dont mind buying one, and using it, but is that the issue? I know a lot of guys on here have way more gear than I do and have no issues.

 

I have a jump box and nada...it just drained the jump pack from 88% to 49% real quick.

 

Pull out the master fuse for the amp feeds and see if the voltage will come up when charged.

 

Not sure you did anything wrong but I am leaning toward a bad cell in the battery. So bottom line, bad battery. If it won't hold a charge that's my guess. Unless you have a direct short and those would be a different symptoms. How old is the battery? Good luck ride safe.

 

The bike is 2 months old. I just ordered a 5amp battery tender. There goes tomorrows ride.

 

Tried jumping it off my truck...no go. Battery reads 5v.

 

Walmart has a nice damn batter maintainer and is open 24/7. Get off the couch and get that biotch
charged so u can ride tomorrow.

It has the pig tail, % charged readout, and a fancy lil hook to hang it on the pax peg.
