Cold Weather Starting Problem Solved!!

« on: December 12, 2010, 10:28:40 PM »

Got my Yuasa battery yesterday and hooked it up to my Battery Tender Plus overnight. Snatched the old battery out this morning and put in the new one, turned the key, pushed the choke on and hit the starter button.

Aha!! Its alive!!!!!!!! Happy dance, Happy dance!!!!

'Course, now its gotta stop snowing, so's I can ride....... Undecided

It is amazing how many starting problems are caused by a weak battery. That has become my standard answer.

You say it does not want to start?
1. Check choke.
2. Put in a new battery

I agree with MP. When mine resisted starting, but turned over well. I checked all the obvious....gas...spark..Then I used the optional kick start. ........Remembered some of the posts. Kicked myself in the A** and put in a new battery...Problem solved. One has to retain what one reads.
