skyrider Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 if the bike has only been stood a few months with the fuel in the tank it still should be ok and not have gone off, have you tried starting the bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan6770 Posted March 13, 2019 Author Share Posted March 13, 2019 Yes I've finally put fresh fuel in and she started up on the forth kick, sounds good as a125cc goes, but one problem is the battery doesn't seem to be getting a charge up. So any ideas/tips to help sort out the problem would be greatly appreciated... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 but one problem is the battery doesn't seem to be getting a charge up... How do you know? Have you checked voltage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xMachina Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Yes, getting a charge and taking a charge a two different things. If its been left for a few months its possible the voltage dropped too low and the battery has sulfated and now won't take a charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
