Bike has been sitting outside for 8 months

I like this fucker.

Doubt it will be the kickstand switch. Best way to drain it would be to take the tank off and make sure you get it all out. And undo the drain screw on the bottom of the carb.

Bro-hug - mate

I say damned if you do damned if you don't.

Same day and we have a hyobag owner saying he left his bike in carport 8 months and it wasn't stolen. A Ninja owner had his stolen before getting a chance to buy insurance.

Right you bastards, I've tried to turn the key today. Dash lights up fine - that's about it. Turning the key makes no sound what so ever - no clicking nothing... what's wrong with the poor lass.

Is this a joke? You haven't charged/changed the battery yet, what did you expect to happen?

No joke - expected at least a click from the relay - should I try jumpstarting with a car?

...a car should be ok...better than your oven or fridge...doesn't sound like any of these three will make it start though...

Do all your lights and shit work? If so I would suspect the starting system, if not battery is fuckered. Get a new one you cheap coont.

Rock it in gear, give it a whirl, (after charging) and then push start before you decide to take to it with jumper leads. Those little bikes are easy as to push start on the flat. If you live on a hill, ever better. If it's steep it will give plenty of motivation to check everything well first so you don't have to push it back up

Any particular brand you recommend ya twat?

[unstuck]

I have no problems with Motobatt, fucker.

[francewavidok]

No point putting my existing battery into a trickle charge?

[avgas]

gay little chineses in your engine, that's what

Aren't they Korean?

[avgas]

Your second bike will (usually) be better ...

Not likely. Second is usually a heap-of-shit that you buy for a box of beer and the broken remains of the first bike.

That is if you are a real biker.

If the lights come on and all - check the solenoid .. do Hoysungs have them?

Make sure al the leads from the battery to the solenoid are clean at both ends - battery and solenoid. Sometimes they can be corroded and that mucks up the connections .. clean them all and if it still does not start, take the solenoid off and have it checked - you might need a new one.

Might seem obvious but you haven't got the kill switch in the kill position?

Thank you all! She's up and running, took off the fuel tank - drained all the fuel out. Went and bought her a new battery - installed battery, popped fuel tank on and put in fresh fuel. Turned her over and vroom vroom - now inspecting side stand switch for issue #2.

Thank you you bastards!
