New Battery and it only turn over breifly before solenoid clicks

[Ralpha306]

i did.. i did...When the battery gets back up to 12.5 and i jump the solenoid it turns over breifly(seconds..like once..) same as if i push the start button..cables clean.. fuses good....I read the battery manual and followed to the t..but used the wrong type of charger..dunno....?

What would happen if i jumped the motorcycle battery with a car battery? will i get the amp needed to turn over the engine? will i burn up any wiring or fuses? will i mess up the battery? does any one know?

If you do it then ensure the car IS NOT running or you will potentially kill your entire charging system...not pretty!!

Why not have your battery tested to ensure it's still good first? Then follow what the others have suggested.
