hayabusa motorbike will not crank over

[RedBull]

Welcome
by the way . . .

And I was not
trying to come
off as a Jack4$$ .

These bikes are very
voltage and battery eccentric ,
a good description of what it is doing
is paramount to our being able to help you .

Hi I did a jump start and the Hayabusa started. Then after a few minutes I took the jump leads off and would not start again! i did a test on the battery and got a reading of 12.3.

Sounds like it is time for a battery...if it started with a jump and then wouldn't start, the cranking amps of your battery is toast.

I had the original battery for 13 years, only got this battery new 18 months ago! Not good!!

That sucks, and it worked fine before now?

When you had it running, did you check what it was putting with an amp-meter?

You have to make sure the battery leads are very clean with no corrosion at all.

Hi Could not check in running as I had the jump lead on it! I did try to start it up again, but no it id not work. but the battery showed 12.3 I thought it would be enough to start it?

Was it an off brand battery? Like from a parts store or Walmart?

Try jumping it again and then take the lead off to test the running amps. I would suggest it's the battery just by the bike starting and running with a jump.
