Default bike wont sart , any ideas

battery is up on bike and batterys in my fobs seem to be ok. turn on at the lock an unlock and hit the run switch, I hear pump turn on hit start, nothing just like the fob is not on you. did this at gas station yesterday but after turning every thing on and off a few times it finally started.

What do u mean by everything on and off. I would check one at a time on what you turned on and off to see if it was a coincidence. Check start switch to make sure it is making. Do you have a meter to be able to check things?

sorry for the spelling. ok I turn on ignition then flip switch to run, I hear pump come on and then press start but nothing happens. at the station I just turned ignition off an flipped the run switch off a few times and it finally started but I don't really think that had anything to do with it starting I think I just got lucky, we have a local indy here in town ill take it to that will be not as hard on pocket. don't have meter.

ok I put charger on battery and it shows 25 percent charge but climbs to a 100 percent real fast. then if I try to start bike it still does nothing but the charger shows it drop right back to 25 percent, wonder if I got a bad cell in battery?

Must be typing on a phone because it is very difficult to understand.
You have a touring bike of unknown year , miles and condition.
1-You report having no meter but state that " battery is up on the bike".
*A translation would be required...I will take a wild guess that you might mean the lights are bright/strong on bike.
2-You report "my fobs seem to be ok" but you have no meter and have not checked fob batteries.
Do you mean physically OK? Does that mean you tested both Fobs?
Do you know the bypass code for security system?
Reason:This would allow you to deactivate security if fob battery is bad or if a Fob is sick.
3-You report " I hear pump turn on hit start, nothing just like the fob is not on".
I would change fob batteries first

A cheap digital multimeter would help lots.
Harbor freight has a free one if you can google the coupon code.
If not then less than $10 will get you a cheap one.

Sounds like you need a new bike battery, how old is it?
