Now it doesn't backfire, it just won't turnover!

You need to be more specific with your issue. What kind of bike do you have? That is the 1st step.

When the weather got warm I tried to start the bike and the battery was dead so I gave it a jump and it started with no problems, so I replaced the battery and after doing so it was backfiring loudly and just smoke coming from exhaust. After charging battery and trying again there was no backfiring but bike wouldn't turnover. It's a 99 Honda cbr900rr.

seemed like it was draining right there in front of my eyes have battery with display screen, it stopped backfiring but now it won't start

So are you saying the bike will drain the battery if it just sits untouched?

Or are you saying when you try to start the bike, the battery drains quickly?

Yes while trying to start it the battery was draining rapidly, so I charged it and will retry it again tomorrow and see the reaction and update it the last time I tried it the bike didn't backfire anymore but it wouldn't turn over
