Just got home after being away from my 07 zx6 for a litle over 4 months and tried turning the bike on and got nothing, the accessories, digital odometer, pretty much the whole dash will not turn on, i know its the battery because of how much time it was just sitting, just have a dead bike right now... but i need to fix this problem asap, how do i fix it?????????? whats the easiest way, Do i need to charge the battery?? or can i jump start it??

 

The quickest fix to that would be to go get a new battery.... they dont cost that much anyway. Most economical solution would be jump start it and ride the bike around for a couple hours. Should charge the battery....

 

Have had good luck with this monitor so far as well. http://www.optimate3.com/

 

tried charging it for a few hours, no luck, with the battery charging i was able to turn the dash and geth the accessories on, once i tried taking the clamps off the battery and tried turning the bike on, got nothing to turn on once again, then tried starting it with the charger still connected to the battery and got nothing, so no luck, now is there a way to jump start it?? or should i get a new battery? I figure if i cant even get the bike on, there wont be a way to jump start it...

 

Seems the like the cells in ur battery are dead. this usually means you need a new battery. How old is your existing battery? you might be due for a new one. New battery for a 600cc bike can cost around 50 bucks....

 

i don't think u can bump start the '07s + because of the slipper clutch either. battery for mine was $98 at a kawi dealership. i still haven't got one yet, but i think i'll need one next year for sure.

 

oh yeah, i'm up here in canada so ur battery will likely be 1/2 what i will have to pay

 

get a new battery and a battery tender in case you are gone for 4 months...I have a yussa and it sat for 4 months and started up the first turn...great battery...

 

+1, Prevention is always the best cure
If its not running the dash lights after a couple hours of charging either you didnt charge it right or there was nothing there to charge. New battery should fix you up, at the very least it cant hurt.

 

thanks for the help, i will just have to buy a new battery, at the stealership they said one would be 90 some dollars, any suggestions on batterys for a n 07 600cc, for a cheaper price
