my battery was flat and i have been riding around quite a bit and it has not charged one tiny wee bit! is it dead? can u recharge them on a battery charger? or would it be better to buy a brad new battery and do most shops have them or would i have to wait?

the battery that is in it is a stock one i think?

sorry about all the questions!

You can try charging it on a battery charger (a little one, not one of those honking big things); but if it won't charge up and hold the charge, then it's stuffed. Time for a new one. Any decent bike shop will probably have the right size, or try Repco, they do some bike batteries.

also check the water - otherwise charging it aint gonna give u jack.
If you can check the electrolyte.
