- April 28, 2014, 10:25:59 AMOn the battery issue - with the electronic ignition, if there isn't enough voltage, there will be no spark. I made the mistake of leaving my key on last summer, and the battery went dead. Tried to push start myself - no go. Got 2 of the guys to push me, tried to start - no go. Then it occurred to me... No voltage --> no ignition --> no spark --> no start. It just sucks you have to pull the seat off (and saddlebag mounts of course, if you have them) to get to the battery. SO I put a charger connection on mine coming out of the left cover, to be able to hook up a charger if needed. Or a tender...

Duh .... what was I thinking 
guess we all have blonde moments here and there ......

- April 27, 2014, 20:16:33 PMI'm guessing a power pack can be used as LONG as it's for this size battery and not a 12v system . My guess it would fry something ?

- April 27, 2014, 07:07:51 AM Ok so thanks to our forum guru , " Mr. Troll " I'm happy to say after jumping the bike this morning she fired right up I'll be off to see if indeed the local shops have a battery . If not I'll order one up .
I'm still going to run a fair amount of sea foam through the system to eliminate the possibility of being hummed up , just to be on the safe side .
I'm thinking my best bet would be to get MA-DEUCE in the shop so they can check the air/fuel ratio for me , as I don't have a clue on how to do so .
Thanks for all the comments and process of elimination guys its greatly appreciated , as always
