Re: Starting Issues
A car SHOULD be OK to jump it with, but that won't solve your problem.
Do you get any sort of clicking noises? Have a search of the forum on how to test the charging circuit, myself & others have given lots of detailled advice about what voltages should be what & where & what direction etc. |

As the others have said, check your reg / rec is charing the battery properly. Also how old is your battery they dont last forever, so it might be worth investing in a new one. And possibly an optimate as it'll keep the battery topped up when the bikes not being ridden. One more thing to check is that the terminals on the battery are clean, and are done up nice and tight.
