CBR600 F1 startup/crank troubleshooting
Hey guys, I just bought a 1988 Honda CBR 600F and went to start it up with a battery from my 250 scooter. it didnt have the cranking power so i hooked up a car starter to it (which puts out 900 amps) and it cranked until that car starter died (it needed a charge anyway). the battery that i had was crap, it cant hold any charge. But when I hooked up my other car started (which is a direct feed from the wall) i trickled it for 5 min at 2 amps then put it up to 12 amps. turned the key and his start. nothing. not even a crank. I know putting 900 amps through the thing wasnt smart.. but it was cranking just fine 5 minutes earlier. I already know the carbs need readjustment before crank time can be decreased but why would it suddenly not even crank AT ALL!! i plugged the 900 amper back in and same story.. not even a crank. there wasnt even any bad nooises before it started. All the electrics work from the headlight to the turnsignals to the meter lights.. but i go to hit the start button and nothing happens.. I hope i didnt fry my starter.. (AND YES.. THE BIKE IS IN THE "RUN" POSITION) I am going to buy a new battery today but is there any electrical issues that could be causing this as well?
Oh yeah, I couldnt find a technical/trouble shooting section here so I just posted under new member. if you could direct me to the proper posting place too thatd be great. THANKS ALL!
