evening peeps,

Attempted to start my 2007 streetbob this evening and it didn't kick over.....so I

inserted keys
turned on ignition (ignition noise sounded)
lights came on with ignition
pressed starter button

it then had like a sound as if it was trying to kick over but wouldn't....soon as i let go of the starter button it did the same noise as the ignition again???

Any info would be much appreciated.

thanks Sion

 

Welcome to the Forum from Kansas!

My buddy had the same problem, found out the battery was the issue.

 

Welcome to the forum!

Critter nailed it; your battery has shuffled off this mortal coil; deceased.

Replace it with a Yuasa GYZ20HL; same price as the Deka batteries you'll find online but the Yuasa is a superior battery; my GYZ20HL is 320 CCA and 20 Ah; the HD/Deka batteries are 310 CCA and 17.5 Ah; and if you don't have a Battery Tender, be sure to get one...
