The battery is likely drained. It would behoove you to invest in a battery tender. It's easy to install the lead to the battery, and they are inexpensive. (~$30) Keep this tender on whenever the bike will be sitting for more than a few days.
Get your battery tested, too. It could have a bad cell, or two.
Lastly, you could have an issue with your charging system. Voltage Regulator, Stator (alternator) and battery are generally speaking, the parts of the system. If your battery is found to be fine, the culprit could be one of the other two mentioned items, and should be taken to a professional for diagnosis.
yes,I have
Yes you can!
yes
Yes, but not necessary.
yes, you can. BUT don't start the car! just connect the jumper cables from car to motorcycle wait 5 minutes and then try to start the motorcycle.
He did not jump on his motorcycle. He jumped the shark on his waterskis
When i used to jump start my rm80 i would find a small hill or have a friend push me at a decent speed, pull in the clutch shift to 1st gear, let out the clutch and give it some gas that will start it right up.
To jump-start a ZX-12R Ninja, first ensure you have a compatible jump starter or another motorcycle with a charged battery. Connect the positive terminal of the dead battery to the positive terminal of the charged battery using jumper cables, then connect the negative terminal of the charged battery to a grounded metal part of the dead bike. Start the working motorcycle or jump starter, and after a few minutes, attempt to start the ZX-12R. Once it starts, disconnect the cables in reverse order and let the bike run for a while to recharge its battery.
A motorcycle can be jump started from a car. It's the same as jumping car - car except that the jumper cars engine should be off.
I would not recommend jump starting a motorcycle using a car, unless it's an extreme emergency. Then you do not want the car running, or you could fry your charging system. *Edit* Actually jump starting a motorcycle from a car battery is absolutely fine - whether the car is running or not. The motorcycle battery will only draw the power it needs from the car battery and won't overload it's own circuits. I have jumped a motorcyle from car batteries many times, and when we service motorcycles at the roadside that have dead batteries we hook them up to the generator in the van that we also use to start 18 wheelers that are having battery trouble, so its perfectly fine
The longest jump by Evel Knievel was an impressive 4,000 feet, achieved on a rocket-powered motorcycle during his attempt to jump the Snake River Canyon in Idaho on September 8, 1974. However, this jump was not a traditional motorcycle jump; rather, it involved a specially designed rocket, and Knievel did not complete the jump as intended, landing in the canyon instead. His most successful motorcycle jump was a distance of 33 cars in 1973. Knievel remains a legendary figure in the world of stunt performance.
If you flipped the wires you may have damaged your rectifier. But I would start by checking for blown fuses and burnt wires. Good luck.
