    Very seriously, the last few times I have had a flat battery on a bike, the easiest & best solution has been to put the battery on a long slow charge. Jumper leads on bikes are fine if you can get at where you need to make a connection, but unless you are going to give the bike a long run when it starts, you are still going to leave the battery in a low charge state & this is not good for battery recovery.

    Of course, it helps no end if there is other transport available when you discover the problem!

    Well put my charged battery in and was same thing except made a whining electrical sound too

    Panice griped me aghh then like calm down i had to tell myself well i removed the clutch case cover and was me fitting

    A gear dowl wrong as i was fitting to the clutch case and i should pushed through a gear cog that drives i think the oil

    Pump as gear just floats without this pinion rod so must be jaming stoping the engine turning over.

    Plus main reason was spacer i put in front the cog was actually surposed to fit behind and its starter cog

    So nowonder starter was jaming omg i whould not make a good mechanic these guys deserve gold medals

    I managed to cut my hand ob the sharp egdes of the engine case aghh maybe this is job for trained mechanic

    Of to get some petrol to clean oil of the case so can stick rtv on to the gasket to stop it leaking

    Sounds as though your mechanical skills are almost on a par with your ability to communicate in English.
