What should I do if my motorcycle battery wont start?
If you don’t see these symptoms or are otherwise unsure what to look for, the first step is ensuring that the battery is operational and providing the maximum voltage. To confirm your battery is still good, you should visually inspect it, check the voltage, and load test the battery. A visual battery inspection should involve:
What’s the problem with my bike not starting?
Bike won’t start, battery is fine I just joined the sight because I really need some help. I am a first time owner and have a 2005 Suzuki GSX600F Katana with 12,000 miles. It has been good to me besides recently. I started it up a few days ago, went to put it in first gear from neutral and it shut off. It would not start up there after.
Why does my bike need a battery to run while kick starting?
A kick start is just to short a duration. Modern cars suffer from the same problem. Low battery voltage often leads to problems starting. Not necessarily because the engine won’t crank sufficiently, but because the electronics don’t work properly at a too low voltage.
How can I tell if my motorcycle battery is good?
Now push the start button and watch what the voltage drops to. It doesn’t matter if the bike starts or not, what you’re looking for is a voltage reading. A healthy 12 volt motorcycle battery should maintain a range from 9.5 – 10.5 volts under the load for a good 30 seconds straight.
Is it possible to start a motorcycle without a battery?
It is possible for a motorcycle to start and run without a battery, especially smaller motorcycles that are 250 CC’s or less and have a kick starter. The bigger the engine, the less likely the motorcycle will be able to start without a battery.

What to do if your motorcycle battery is dead?
If you are stuck somewhere with a dead battery, it’s possible to borrow someone else’s battery to simply get the motorcycle started then remove the battery and likely get yourself safely home. You cannot turn the motorcycle off during that time because you won’t be able to turn it back on.
Why does my motorcycle make no noise when I turn it on?
Depending on how low your battery is, if there is some voltage left you may be able to turn the key as well as turn on your blinker, but turning it over is slow and sluggish. If your battery is completely dead, you motorcycle will not make any noise at all when you try to start it.
