i just went out and bought my first bike yesterday and everything seemed fine. last night i was driving it for maybe 5 minutes when i had it stopped in a parking lot for maybe two minutes than i got back on (never turned it off) started to drive off when it just shut off. tried unsuccessfully multiple times to get it started. all lights worked but it just wouldnt start, finally someone suggested to do a rolling start and after two tries it worked, what do you think the problem is? the bike is a 2006 cbr600rr with only 900 miles on it. any information would be helpful, thank you in advance.

 

Did you stall it or shut of while riding. I know from experience that sometimes, when you stall it, it doesn't want to start back up, and you have to actually give it some throttle while starting it to get it running again (It's happened to me a couple times.)

If it died while just riding, that's another story. Was it cranking over, or doing nothing?

 

Couldbeit needs some assisted starting, like Blue suggested, a fuse, or a rectifier. However, if everything is lighting up, I dont think it would be a rectifier. You may have drained the battery enough where is cannot charge itself.

 

sounds like battery
have it and your stator checked just in case

 

blue, i tried everything before the rolling start including giving it some throttle while starting it up and it just wouldnt start. thanks for all info.

 

Did it have enoughgas in it ?

 

haha yea the gaswas the first thing i checked when it shut off.but i called the dealer this morning and they gave me a new battery and it seems to be running good so far so i think thats what it was.

 

Sometimes its the easy stuff, thats what I always check first. Learned my lesson about that when I tried to put my bike in gear once and it would shutdown.... kickstand lol.

 

haha yea that was the second thing i checked after the gas. im just learning so i make my fair deal of mistakes but its been running goodsince i put the new battery in yesterday morning.

 

But with 900 miles you're battery should be fine I hope nothingis draining you're battery.
