bike no longer starts

[shredex]

very sad
everything seems to be working right too.
ill have to wait till after school to work on it

[docrider]

i wonder if the added electronics are draining the battery just enough to make it to weak to start?

[shredex]

Nothing I added is connected to the battery.
Amp is powered my a 9.6v battery that went to an RC car and the LEDs are powered by a 9v battery.
My battery seems a little low, but not so low that it wont start.
Im charging it now and Ill try it again once I get hoe and if that doesnt work then Im going to drain my fuel and replace the gas.

The gas in my tank has a blue tint to it. its weird. I dont know whats giving it the blue tint, but I dont think its good.

god I wish I had the money for a new bike.

mine wouldn't start the other day because for the past few weeks i've been too busy to ride it . i ended up pulling the battery out to find that one of the cells was kinda low , so i put some destilled water in there , charged it up , and all is well now . these bikes are picky about power . when i would hit the starter it sounded fine for a while but it had just enough for the starter to sound ok , but not enough to start the bike . now that it's re-charged it fires right up . you might want to check that out .

yeah one thing is for sure... If you own an fzr, you better own a battery charger

, yup, I got home after having my battery charging all day and it fired right up and I drove off to work.

Shred- Be sure to take the battery out and check the water level in the cells anyway, if you left the battery charging all day you could have boiled some of the water off. Battery power will slope off quickly over the next couple weeks if that is the case. Happens a lot with new batteries also.



(some battery chargers automatically turn off once full charge is reached, so this may not affect you, but just to be on the safe side)

i checked and all the levels are normal

just buy you a yuasa battery charger/maintainer it switches to storage once the battery is charged fully i use it on mine and its nice

Thats perfectly normal, the gas is supposed to have a blue tint to it. If it's yellow/tan then it's old gas.

may want to check the electrical system per naeslas' flowchart. my FZR would do that when my VR was crapping itself. my battery was shot too, which didn't help much either (may want to run it by autozone for a load test).

[docrider]

glad to hear that it started after charging it if it keeps going dead it could be either a bad battery or your charging system or vr
