Same thing happened to me....these bikes need alot of amps to start......I bet its turning over good but just wont start huh? It's probably flooded try taking the spark plugs out and cleaning or replacing them and then it might not hurt to jump it off from your car/truck just to give it that extra boost.........now i did all of that and still had no luck....but all is not lost twist the throttle wide open (it cuts off the injectors when its not running) and hold it there while spinning it over and see what happens............careful not to burn up your starter.......................its gonna smoke when she starts but it will clear up in a few. best of luck JAE

How do i find what is draini g my battery? Battery is new (6 months) and if i turn car off and have any door, trunk open for longer than 1-2 min battery wont start car without jump

That only means, with your explanation, the battery is bad or has a dead cell. It happens. Have the battery fully charged at a battery rebuilder and have him load test the battery to find if indeed it is bad. If not, have your charging system checked. A test when running should show 14 volts or better, meaning the charging system is good. If the test shows the battery stays at 12 volts, it is not charging and your alternator is at fault.

Blackberry 9720 suddenly went dead wont charge

Hi Michelle. I have the same phone and it happened to me a few times. On most phones the battery swells up when it reaches it's charging life end. In the 9720 the battery can still LOOK okay even though it might have reached its life-span. I eventually purchased a new battery, and wholaa, problem solved. A piece of additional advice is: Do not chat with you phone on the charger. Unplug the charger when battery is fully charged: We tend to charge the phone anytime and every time before we go to work or somewhere - you have to let the battery run flat on its own at least once a month, then start a fresh charge from fully flat to fully charged. This will prolong battery life. I a new battery does not solve the problem, have the charging pin checked out. Alternately if you know someone that has the same handset as you, ask them to stick your battery into their handset and visa versa. Hope this info help :)

Battery not charge

the battery may have developed a memory from continually recharging a partially used battery. The battery charges to this point and reads fully charged but when used it shows as flat because the charged portion is the bit that is used and not the whole battery. Replace the battery with a new one and only charge the battery when it shows as flat.

After half a mile on fully charged batteries the slightest incline causes the needle to go to red, another half mile and it cuts out and beeps cannot be pushed in neutral.

hi.

you almost almost certainly need to replace the batteries. after time, and especially if the batteries are left without charging for a while, sulphur can build up on the lead plates inside the batteries. this means that while the batteries show fully charged, they cannot deliver power properly under load, giving the exact symptoms you are describing.
most car garages should be able to perform a load test on the batteries to confirm this for you.
a 100amp load test for about 6 seconds will show the battery condition. fully charge the batteries and remove them from the scooter for the garage to test. most garages will not charge for this test.

hope this helps

I turn the key and i get the constant fast clicking noise, and the car wont start. I was wondering if the battery is flat, or if the alternator or the starter motor has had it. The lights are still on...

Your battery is drained/not fully charged. The fast clicking noise comes from your starter, the starter selnoid is clicking, however there isn't enought amp to turn over the selenoid to roll over the engine. You can try jumping it using another car, or a portable battery jumper and leave it running or drive the car around for about 20+ min to see if the battery would charge, if it doest charge or it start getting drained down agian, then you need to replace your battery.

Charged battery.showed charged right away.bike wont start unless

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

The description "...series of clicks..." is significant. The battery is not putting out enough current to turn the starter motor. The best way to determine the battery condition is to have it load tested. However, considering eveything else, it would almost always be a failed or about to fail battery.

Incidentally, the alarm has been designed to have minimal current drain when in standby.

Good luck and thank you for asking FixYa.
