What to Do When a Motorcycle Battery Dies After Prolonged Storage?
1 Answers
Possible causes and solutions for a dead battery are as follows: 1. The battery has not been charged for a long time, leading to discharge. In this case, simply recharge the battery. 2. The battery is severely discharged and damaged, requiring replacement with a new one. Here are some related tips: 1. Generally, a motorcycle should be started once a month and run for about 10 minutes before recharging. 2. If there is a wiring fault causing battery leakage, it is necessary to visit a repair shop to have the wiring checked by a mechanic. Ignoring this issue not only leads to battery drain but also poses safety risks later on. 3. Carburetor-equipped motorcycles may also experience battery discharge, preventing startup. Carburetors often retain residual gasoline, which, when exposed to air for extended periods, can accumulate impurities, oxidize, and form gum deposits. These deposits can clog the main jet and idle jet. Cleaning the carburetor will resolve the issue and allow the motorcycle to start.
