Battery seems to be fully charged. 12.8volts. when i turn the key on the battery sounds flat, bike will not turnover at all. i have removed the battery and tried to start bike with a car battery. still wont turnover.
Some thing to do with your wiring
SOURCE: 1998 Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 classic will not start,
under the seat there is a reset button that taked a metal prong thingie (dont know whent it's called) you can use a paper clip - just jump the two terminals and try to start it,, doesnt happen all the time but it does happen.

The oil light is on because the engine isn't running to build any oil pressure. Sounds like the new battery may need to be charged fully. After the battery is fully charged, and the 'clicking' noise is back (or not) check the battery connections for corrosion--especially at the positive terminal. If ok, you should get one solid click when trying to start. If ok, but still not starting, jump the two heavy terminals of the solenoid (click source) with a heavy wire which should bump the starter motor. If nothing, then the starter motor needs service--usually the brushes inside fail to make contact with the armature due to brush wear, or weak springs. Most dealers will likely only sell you a new starter--no internal parts. Hope this helps!

if it's just ticken then give your batt a charge up a tick tick sounds is indicative of a low batt
SOURCE: bike wont turn over
Use the voltmeter to check the battery while you are trying to start the bike. If it drops below 10v the battery is bad. If it stays at 12v or more look for a loose cable or poor ground.
SOURCE: wont start
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
