Hi all. I just purchased a brand new 2006 F4i today. It stalled and it won't start again. I have a scorpio alarm installed. When I tried to start the bike, I can hear the clicking sound but the engine just won't start and the alarm would chirp and the signal flights flash. I tried following the manual of the bike in case the engine is flooded. It didn't work. Provided everything is new, the only thing that I can think of is the battery is not fully charged and it died? Please help. I was only on the bike for 10 minutes.

 

yea, could be the battery, maybe the alarm ran the battery down, does it even try to crank over? mine did that (wasnt new though) after sitting for a while, maybe cause it was sitting in the dealership, the battery lost power, id try to take it out and then charge it for 20 minutes or so, then see what happens, you can also try push starting it to charge up the battery....

 

yea i would make sure the battery is charged and i would also check the little stuff like make sure the kill switch isnt pushed or something on accident, it may sound stupid but its so simple people dont think to check stuff like that

 

well isnt on most alarms there is the kill switch that gets activated if the bike is started and allows you to drive for about 10 minutes then it dies out and cant be started again untill you hit the button. sounds like it COULD be a alarm issue rather then a mechaincal *hopefully*

 

Thanks guys. Do you think i can jump it using a regular car's battery?

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...don't that...may fry your fuses and the ECU...car battery has way more CCAs than bike.

 

push start it and pop the clutch.....or have some 9 yr old help you out.....

whoa, dejavu

 

lol...yeah, don't do it. You have to trickle charge it, man. Best bet is the battery.

 

thats right, hook it up to the car battery.
btw, did you check out the kill switch.?

 

if its in gear you have the clutch in right and the kickstand up
