[QUOTE="Uncle Hud, post: 1185876, member: 29492"] As usual, Fred's right. Or, as [B]Mr Zappo[/B] said earlier, "The motorcycle charging system will pull what it needs ..." If the bike jump starts and runs, but won't start otherwise, it's the battery or connections to the battery. (Because a running engine makes the alternator spin, which produces electricity to power the electrical systems -- and the battery is no longer needed to run the electrical systems.) If it won't jump start, then there are many [I]potential[/I] failure points. [/QUOTE]
