Battery/Connections problem, not starting?

Sat May 12, 2012 11:57 am

Hi, first post on here, and I'm pretty green to motorcycles too, so if you can help me out, I'd really appreciate it
But for the first time today when I went to start my bike for a morning ride, the engine never started, or made the regular sound it would. instead it just made a buzzing sound, coming from the battery, and I have no idea what to do about it. I don't want to take my bike apart, but I really want to get it fixed ASAP
Please help!! :shock:

Try charging the battery first. If that fails replace the thing.

Could just be a loose connection on the battery terminal, have a look and tighten it up.

Battery is dead.

Time for a newy or at least check the voltage for the old one
