Well my dumb *** left the key in the bike and killed the battery. I tried to jump it but it wont start. All that happens is something is making a loud clicking sound when I try to start it. I don't know what else to try.

 

Need to push more amps through it or let the battery charge for a bit before you try to crank it. What are you trying to jump it from, another bike or a vehicle battery? Are you hooking the cables up correctly (i.e. you're grounding the black to a "hot" surface i.e. it sparks when you clamp it--I've found some odd spots/bolts on the engine/trans case that seem like they won't conduct electricity well enough to crank the motor).

 

I was trying to jump it from a car battery, And I hooked up the negative to a couple different spots that produced a spark when i hooked them up. I read on a couple other threads of people using 1 amp battery charger to charge the battery back up.

 

Since your battery is relatively new, hooking it up to a battery tender and slowly recharge overnight or longer may do the trick. Hopefully, it does not have a terminal case of the "deads".

Good luck.

 

It may be the car battery is not adding enough power. If you could jump it from a car while its engine is running you should get a result. Best of luck!

 

I'd try charging the battery with a trickle charger, not a battery tender.

If it keeps a charge you're OK; if not you need a new battery.

Hey thanks guys for the advice ill probally try the trickle charger.

 

You might want to pull your maxi-fuse while charging the battery on the bike. Just sayin.

 

just wanted to tell everyone thanks for the advice. Got up this morning to go to work and decided to try and start the bike and wala it started. Made my day

 

Glad to hear. Good advice is to keep it on a battery tender when not in use.
