  1. Hi guys,

    thought id try and start the 1098 after its been sitting a while since about May last year - had service and new battery. Started a few times since then and had it out a couple times.
    Tried starting it today and when i turn the key no dash lights or anything.

    Does this mean another new battery? Thanks and happy new year!
     
  2. Sadly, you’re probably right, especially if you don’t have it on any kind of charger.
     
  3. Ahh ok mate cheers not the end of the world fingers crossed

  5. Thanks dude seems to have gone dead in a matter of months :(
     
  6. Just because the battery is flat, doesn't necessarily mean it's gone. Put it on a charger for 24 hours and see how it goes.
    They do love to be used though. All of my bike batteries have lasted 4-6 years with regular rided
