I tried to start my XB9 last wk and it wouldnt start, lights on etc but not enough juice to crank over....the battery is two yrs old so figured it was shot, got a new one this morning, installed it and..SAME THING! Lights on but not enough juice to crank over...put it on a trickle charger until the light turned green ...same thing...im at a loss here...any ideas would be greatly appreciated! thanks!

Make sure the battery contracts are clean, and check grounds.

Do the lights dim, or shut off? Starter relay?

Get a battery tender , I got a cheap one at WalMart , and run it on your bike when not riding . All my starting problems went away .

If it clicks but does not turn over check the starter solenoid.

Where did ya get the battery? I could have been sitting on a shelf for a while and need a good deep charge.

Thanks for all the great suggestions...Kdog had a battery tender on it, still not enough juice to start it..rode it for an hr..same thing..

Dave- the shop tech mentioned the same thing when I called, but wanted to ck it out..Ete.right on! Seems the discount battery I bought on the cheap was CRAP! The tech tested it and it dumped as soon as a load was put on it...he put a new good battery in and now good as new! Nice thing is the owner gave me a refund for the crap battery..they usually dont do it, but happy they did..

much thanks for the help!
