Hey guys. I hope all is well.
I am basically a dumbass when it comes to my bike. I've been a biker for just a few months, and I am curious about why my Fazer doesn't like being turned on any more. (Oooo-err)
Could this be the battery? The lights turn on, and the starter motor makes a noise, it just sometimes doesn't want to start.
Is it any of these?
1) The battery needs charging, and as a new biker, I don't realise I might have to take out the battery and charge it, cos I am unaware that the bike doesn't do it itself.
2) The battery might be as old as the bike (12 years) and I just need a new one.
3) The started motor is f***ed.
I cannot think of anything else it could be.
I have also read the stuff on batteries in hot poop, and also read the manual, and it doesn't really give me an answer.
Would be nice if someone could give me some advice, so I may not have to go to a garage and give them lots of money . . . .
Cheers!
