I tried jumping my bike and I think I blew something

[jimaug87]

Well the most important thing is that I rode my bike tow ork today, and then home. It started with one push of the start button and I have a new battery.

I did have old one tested at Advanced Auto parts and it was dead. I was correct in buying a new battery

If ya can't stand the flames, get outta the kitchen...... cuz I don't think anyone could POSSIBLY turn the flames down any more than where the are now. I don't see ANY flames in here.... hell it's barely even warm!

If you followed people's advice from the other thread your bike should have started up no problem..... ie, car off, connect the batteries directly (none of this clip on the frame bs.... just black to black, red to red) and immediately try and start the bike. Shoulda fired up no problem.

But you still probably woulda needed a new battery... so I'm glad ya got one & the bike's running. See ya Sunday?

Why do you start a car when you jump it, but not a bike?

When you say shit like this above you make it sound like you starty starty. But who cares, your bike runs now so and

1. I didn't flame you.
2. Multiple people thought you had the car started, look in the mirror.

3. You had a sentence in your first post about trying to start the bike AFTER disconnecting the jump leads. This leads us to believe you either:

a: Tried to charge the bike battery with the car running.
b: Were really dumb and thought you could just attach the jump cables, then disconnect them and the bike battery would magically be charged up.

In either scenario, maybe you shouldn't be around anything electrical

Now THAT was a flame. :-)

shit son you awoke the sleeping giant

Jimaug87, good to hear it was the battery. I told youin one of my comments. Battery, alternator or rectifier. Better to have the problem with the battery than the other two.
