Does this ROUNDERS member actually have a bike? Any make or model?
Has he ever had a bike?
When it seems he is asked, he usually never returns to the thread?
nt.
Huh? I have 3, that is two more than you, and decades longer. I have many times listed years and mileage. Have quite a few threads with projects working on them
All this because I said you should verify the charging system is good, and charge the battery before doing a load test. Makes me think you have no idea what is going on, and are just jumping on the bandwagon of a bunch mentally ill people.
I have threads where I am tearing my engine down. Pulling the crank. How about you? As far as not returning to a thread, find a thread that I am shy about posting.

last post I saw, he had not taken it for a ride, just started it. Which does not tell you the state of the charging system. I also said statically speaking batteries are common failures. Which is why people with no skill replace them.
A load test without a properly charged battery is utter waste of time.
Feel free to tell me why you disagree, or if you can even understand my point.

I am not surprised.
I would have chaged it. Tried to start next day. If it doesn't start then get it load tested. If it does start, rev it up and see if you get 14.4 ish, doesn't 100% prove charging. If I was in no rush, I would let it sit for 4-5 days and see if starts. Day 1, I would see what battery voltage. Perfect batter off charger for hours will be 12.7. I have started bikes all year at 12.3.
Get a meter if you are going to own anything.
Some of these new bikes are PIA to get at battery. And in general I get better things to do than drive my battery around town.
Feel free to say how you would trouble shoot or why you disagree
Statistically speaking clicks are bad battery. Though he did just rip it a part and maybe missed ground cable. 2 year old battery failing would have me trouble shooting a little. But since it is statistically most likely battery, the hacks replace battery, and it usually works.

What? Are we in grade school here? I often don’t always agree with “certain” posters but this bashing gets tiring.
Post#19-This is your 2nd post and this is what you choose to contribute? Some of us need to grow the F up!
It was a sincere question. Many have asked that question. Wanted to know. Just an ask.
I am 60, So I have enough years riding behind me. I dont have to boast on it like some, or grow up anymore Thank You.
Math is not someones strong suite as well...
Done with this. What a joke.

Go look at my threads working on bikes, tuning,boring, replacing crank, ect. I have three Harleys with numerous places where I give age and models.
Many posts outside of off topic talking about bikes.
I just choose not to show my bikes here because people demand it. When they get pics of every members bikes, I still will not
There many pics of me and my bikes on other forums. But we are not friends
