check for broken or slipped timing belt...also fuel filter and fuel pump
Also check the orange wire connected to the positive battery terminal. If it doesn't have a good connection the engine will turn over but will not start. Had the same problem with my '90 lemans.
It sounds like it is a battery problem. Try getting a replacement battery for it.
The battery is dieing down and you should go and get a new battery or get your battery charged
The battery warning light illuminates when the battery isn't being charged , get it checked out to find the problem and then repair.
The most common reason for lights failure on 1985-88 Yamaha Virago XV 100's is battery problems. Check to see that the battery is in working condition and sufficiently charged. If the battery is fine, there may be a problem with the main fuse and the ones below the indicator panel.
Test the battery with a digital voltmeter. You should get a reading of 12.6 V if the battery is fully charged. If the battery is fully charged then you know the alternator is functioning properly and your problem is more than likely a defective starter.
well, the problem is that the battery is worn, i might be wrong, ut see if getting a new battery for it will fix the problem. oh and only charge it when the battery is empty, then it will last longer.
Your battery is not being charged because of a problem with the charging system Whether its a problem with the alternator / voltage regulator , the serpentine belt etc . you should have the charging system checked
You have a short - it's hard to be more exact than that, but if you disconnect the battery and charge it outside of the car and it stays charged, you have a short. If it does not stay charged, you need a new battery.
Make sure it is fully charged and store it in a cool, dry location if possible. It will stay fully charged for 6 months with no problem.
No, not really. That was a problem in the 90s.
Check the voltage regulator mounted to the fender
change the battery every time I've had that it's been the battery the likely problem is not the battery but the solenoid that is attached to the starter motor
