CBF 250 lecky issues
 

05 CBF 250 AKA 'The Olympic Flame'....[I]cause it never goes out[/I]

Did a 60 mile round trip on it 3 weeks ago, no probs, last friday afternoon I whipped out the (2 y/old) battery and lashed to the optimate and saturday morn (13.3V on the multimeter), reconnected it and the starter wouldn't turn over - solenoid just buzzing away when hitting the starter, lights/everything perfect....wassup?

sounds like a fooked battery , the same thing happened the xl lights worked , but wouldn't turn over the engine , a new battery sorted it out :thumbsup2:

no amount of charging the old batt worked.

Nod, don't forget that Matt Keane is collecting fcuked batteries for DSI again! Keep the dead one handy, and the "battery collector" might drop by again :thumbsup2:
