car jump and high charge wont do it. i had to get a new battery and it went dead after a few days because i never got around to the less than 2 amps charge. I did that for 2 days at about 1 amp and now i can leave the light on and it still has charge.
dude......your saying car jump wont do it......... but ive already said twice in this thread that i had to do this and it worked a treat........others have also said this so WTF. jumping it with a car is fine there are fuses that would blow if the ampage is to high. sometimes the simple answer is fine and a problem can be over engineered with people trying to over think it.......its a dead battrey for f**ks sake

what i was saying is jumping from a car wont put back the deep charge the battery needs to keep working right. it takes a slow charge.

point taken bro.....sorry for being alittle short with you earlier but kids were driving me mad at the time......but if i had just jumped the bike back to life first thing i would do is take it out for an hour which would fill the battery to the brim and then some.

no problem.
i did take my new battery out for 200 miles and parked it 3 days and it was dead.
I had to charge 3 days at low charge and i left the lights on for an hr yesterday and it started. i also checked the drain when it is off and it has 67ma draw.

Me think's its time for a new battery, if it goes dead in two weeks either the battery's knackered or there is a drain somewhere. I have an eletric starter come charger for all batteries from bike's to truck, one thing it mentions in the instructions and advice is in an emergancy, if you are connecting a running car to a bike to jump start, it should only be connected for 30 seconds before attempting to start the bike, any longer it can burn out the wire loom. Only make two attemps at starting at one time using this method. Once started disconnect ASAP., But as the man said, get an Optimate.
