      Well I tried to start it today and it tries to start but wont as its like 19 degrees outside. I guess the battery died enough to where it wouldnt try and kick over. Anyways any ideas to get it started the battery is already low on power I though about cover it with tarps sticking some heaters under the tarps and letting it **** for a hour or show in its own personal suana

        Did you jump it yet. Continuing trying to start it with that low of a battery without aid is going to kill it. More than likely you're going to need a new battery now.

          You know if your points have some moisture/water on them the bike will turn over but not fire up. I've had to pull my cover off before and hit them with a hair drying while opening them up to solve it. Not sure if your bike still has points or if it has been upgraded to electronic.

            To dry out your points RIGHT NOW, simply spray some WD-40 on them.

            Dispersing Water is what the WD stands for. May as well use the stuff for what it's intended.

              Sorry on the troubles

              Charge or jump your battery ..Clean the cables even if they look clean ..

              Stuff a screw drive in the "starter solenoid" from poll to poll ...See if the starter turns over .. Bike in "N" on the trans ...Key does not even need to be on ...Doing so your giving the starter full 12v and bypassing all the bikes systems ..If the battery is good and the starters good it will turn over ..

              The "de-clutch switch" I bet died or is out of ajustment (if it has one )... By pass it ..

              If you just have a low battery the starter solenoid should hammer or make some sort of noise ... "should I said " .Feel the solenoid it should "clunk" if the de-clutch and starter button are good ...



              Good luck

                Don't forget that a weak battery will result in low voltage to the coils. This means you won't get a strong enough spark to ignite the fuel when cold. If it would turn over but not fire you should check voltage at the coils 'before and during the start attempt.' But since it didn't 'wind down' as the battery died you should also be looking at a starter solenoid that got too cold to function or moisture in the starter button itself. After that it's any guess. Start with easy and work back. Jump it off, then start cleaning connections. Then consider the relay mod for the coils.
