Unhappy Killed Battery

Man this is the most frustrating shit on earth, lol.

I just got my sprained ankle healed. I head for my bike that I haven't rode in a few days, then what do I find out? I turned the key on accident all the way to the left on my Gixxer, and left the back on for a few days. The battery is dead as a doorknob obviously. So my boy brings over the Trickle Charger to give it some juice, lol. I had to call it a night with that because it still wasn't starting and it was late. Man this sucks. I just got my 04 600, and you know how it is. You always are around your bike wanting to mess with it, and riding it.

Can I jump start my bike with something? Give me some ideas here guys. Must.......Ride.......BIKE!!!

You can push start it. Use second gear if you do that.

you should check/refill the battery with distilled water, then charge it...after being on long and sitting it is probably low, it will not charge correctly if its not full

More than likely it is a sealed battery and does not require to be refilled. I left my bike on once when I first got it, and I was so pissed .... I feel yer pain. Good luck.
