How can you start your bike from cold if theres no power from the ignition switch??
It just makes some poofy noise then stops.

Well if your batterys flat you can either recharge it, jump start the bike and go for a long ride to charge it up a bit or you could run up and down the road trying to bump it maybe in an attempt to get it running again but if the batterys that flat bumping it may not work. Thats assuming the battery is flat.

It may not work if the CDI unit/Immobiliser relies on the battery to work... Wink

I know what bump starting is dude, some bikes will not start when you try and bump them if the battery is pretty flat, especially fuel injected bikes as they need a good 12v in the first place to get the things going.

And clearer you made it Smile

When I re read it I had a little feeling that it may not of been aimed at me, so, all's well with the world, apart from this machine that doesn't start.

Well i kept it in a warmish garage overnight so hopefully it should be ok-if not-ill look at the battery again. Cool
