Title: 2006 620 won't start
Post by: SpeedoJosh on February 16, 2012, 06:28:40 PM
So my bike isn't starting and I'm thinking it's the battery, but the events leading to it not starting don't really make sense to me.

Bike sat for a few weeks. Went out one cold morning, started it up fine. Rode about 5 miles to class. Parked. Had to start it up about 5 minutes later and move it 15 ft. Started up fine there too.
About 4 hours later, I go to leave, and the bike won't start. I put the key in, and hit the button, and all it does is click, and the maintenance light comes on.

This seem like battery, or something else mechanical?

you basically ran the battery down.  stored with no tender, cold, started it up 2-3 times without riding enough distance to charge it.

try charging the battery.

Cool, that's what I was thinking. Just wanted to make sure since the maintenance light was throwing me off.
Thanks
