engine management light?

 

If you had done anything wrong at the jump starting it would have died then. Does the battery show any charge ? Check fuses ! It may have gone out of Voltage range whilst trying to charge the battery , it can happen with very old batteries that seem OK, ie show 9 or 10 volts or more, they can be sulphated up and give very high resistance to charge, and cause regulator and alternator to pump out more than 15 volts then fuses blow.

 

That would seem to be a big clue. Before you fit a new battery, may I suggest you put it on charge irrespective of what the supplier says about it being "ready for use". You've no way of knowing how long it's been standing around since manufacture and in any case wouldn't you want to start with it being in tip-top condition?

 

Hi biglad,
It's like pulling teeth ! Find out what's wrong on the third post !! That battery was flat """ it was long dead and past any chance of resurectance !!!! I am surprised it only misfired a few times &&& then stopped, I would have expected any motor hooked up to a battery dead for that long , to have backfired once and stop immediately the jumper cables were unhooked !!! Bike must have a good Alternator & Regulator - is all I can say..….. !

 

Hi and welcome to the forum.
That sounds like a real find with only 200 miles on the clock.
Along with the 'electrics' recommendations you need to definitely use new fuel and clean out the fuel system. Fuel does deteriorate and 'gums' up pipes, jets, injectors etc.

 

Only 200 miles - amazing!
Echo the above, new battery, new fuel and cleaned injection system.

 

No it was something t100prk was putting up prayer beads and smoke for, Jesus was resurrected, no chance of that for an inanimate object !

 

Once you get the new battery fitted and start the bike, I would suggest that you also check the charging system is still functioning correctly after the episode with the dead battery or it could end up causing more damage ( in case voltage regulator has been affected ).

Think you may have [picked up on an old thread there Oldyam.
Its to be hoped he has managed to get it sorted since January, but maybe not ?

 

I spotted that after I had posted the reply, note to self must look closer at the dates

 

Weve all done it mate!
You never know though, he might not have got it sorted yet ?
Its good if the starter of the thread does take the time to let others know the result though.
