Boiling Battery

Post by georges2 »

I recent boiled the battery after charging it on the wrong setting. I have now got a new battery and the bike will not start. I get a clicking sound, I have charged the battery and did bump start it and had it running. Does any know if I have blown fuses elsewhere on the bike or melted more expensive parts/ wires?
It ran fine for about 20 mins, then switched it off after a short ride. then tried to restart and done get a clicking sound but a 'whining' sound now.
Can anyone offer sound advice?
thankyou

- Just tried to start bike, ' whining' now sounds like start motor is trying to turn..
It runs fine, (from a bump start) just did 20 miles. But it does not restart, charge etc in battery, sounds like starter motor seized or jammed. Is this possible from overheating battery.

The clicking would be the starter relay and may be cause by the starter sticking, if the starter is bad this cause a old iffy battery to pack in.
I would have a good look at the starter and make suer the earth that fastens to it is ok.

Thanks, it does seem that it is sticking. There is a new batt, and ample power, i think it does sometimes does try to turn, but can't. Is there any othe fuses, releys etc I should check before buying a new motor? Any ideas of where I could get one if that is the issue.
Thanks again for your help..

If the fuse had gone it would do nothing so i'd take a good look at the stater motor.
