wassup guys, I'm new to the forum and i'm a complete noob with motorcycles as the streetfighter F2 i have right now is my first bike. Anyway my battery died a couple days ago so instead of buying a new one, I decided to recharge it. I recharged for an hour or 2 then it everything started fine. Then today I decided to hook up the charger again to recharge it 100%. My battery charger supposedly has an overcharge protection system but i dont think it turned off wen it was fully charged andmight haveovercharged my battery.

So basically..nothing works now. Doesn't crank, lights don't turn on, etc. I was just wondering ifit could be another problem before i go out nd try putting in a new battery? Help me out please, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks

 

okay so i installed a new battery today..same thing. nothing turns on. so something obviously happened while i was charging the old battery. Btw I just read on the battery charger instructions that on motorcycle batteries you're supposed to use 2V but i used 6V. Anyone know what the problem is? Help me out please

 

update: I checked the main fuse and found out that it was blown...but when i try to replace that fuse it just keeps blowing. any ideas?

 

You might have burnt apositivethat has gronded out. Look along the frame of the bike where the wires run. Hopethat helps.[sm=signs003.gif]

 

also check the battery once you get things fixed.. mines 0.9A 8hr charge. 4A 1hr. my charger does 2 and 4amp.. i get lights on mine but a buzzing when tring to crank.. just keep it in mind. the battery is soo small it cant take lots of abuse charge and discharge

 

(just keep it in mind. the battery is soo small it cant take lots of abuse charge and discharge) good point zoogooz.[align=right]

Sounds like a short.
I know it sounds dumb but, Have you got the terminals the right way around?
