Once the engine is running it mechanically turns an alternator. The alternator generates a current which powers the motorcycle and also recharges the battery.When removed from the motorcycle the battery will need to be recharged using a specialist battery charger which plugs into household mains.
Check your charge in your battery. Just because all things turn on does not mean your battery has enough power to start the engine. Charge your battery or get a jump start.
Was it running before the old battery went south? Did you have a check engine light before you replace the battery?
Does the engine turn? It might be a problem with your battery If your battery is faulty it will not retain charge for long, try using another battery or use a jumper cable and another car/battery. If it starts then replace your battery. If the engine turns but does not start then the engine needs tuning.
The battery may be too weak to start the engine. Jump start it or replace the battery.
Get your battery tested, I think a new one might be in order.
Bad Battery, bad solenoid, bad starter, bad battery cables or dirty terminals for starters!
It would be helpful if you can explain the " won't start " Does the engine turn? If it turns does not fire? Was it running before?
We need more info. The alternator is necessary, but the starter turns the flywheel to start the engine requiring a good battery. Does the battery turn the engine over, does the engine fire the spark plugs. Is there sufficient gasoline in the tank to start the car? Please give symptoms. Thanks.
If the battery turns the engine over as it should then the battery is good.
Starts the engine. Turns on lights and radio.
