Orlando Buell Meet

um....I need like 2 weeks....


JK

Seriously though....it is done but it isn't. I just finished everything. It won't crank now. I hooked it up to the charger hopefully it's just a dead battery. When I started it last weekend it was really weak, but fired. When I went to do it today I turned the key to on then flipped the kill switch to run and the fuel pump started to prime then stopped then I heard some clicking noises and now it does nothing. Lights and gauges work... The only thing I've changed electronically since last weekend when it ran was I hooked up the turn signals. I don't think that could cause any harm lol.

Did you hear the clicking when hitting the ignition button ?

 

[snrusnak]

No it doesn't do anything now when hitting the ignition button. It died while the fuel pump was priming.

And just so you don't say I'm slacking:

I don't think my trickle charger will charge the battery from dead, will it? I guess I gotta take it to autozone to get it charged?

 

[FlaXB9R]

You really have a trickle charger and haven't had your battery hooked to it while doing your 10+ months of repairs ?[confused]

 

[snrusnak]

Well I guess I didn't think about that...

I've heard if you completely discharge a battery it ruins it, is that also correct? If the battery is ruined I'll just go get a new one, but if it's not ruined I'd rather not spend money on a new one.

 

[snrusnak]

Yeah so apparently I don't know how to use a voltmeter lol. When I touched it to the battery it gave a huge spark. BUT now the bike runs. WTF is going on? I just rode it up the street it feels so good to be on a bike again.

 

[Bullxb12r]

The same thing happened to mine a few months back. Never had a problem with it after that tho. Hopefully it's the same with yours. Did we set a time to meet yet? Still at Starbucks?

 

[snrusnak]

I rode 30 minutes with absolutely no problems, so I'm in for tomorrow

As long as Amazze checks in I will be meeting him in winter park at 10:00. Then we will meet you guys at starbucks at 10:30. I probably won't be able to get online the rest of the day, but I'll get on around 9:00 before I leave in the morning.
