Hello.
I have an 81 xs400s cafe. It has a Li battery under the seat. The bike has been sitting obviously all winter, and trying to get it started up for the spring. My last battery toasted from an overcharge, so I got a new one - the new one, won't start the bike, so the battery died. I bought a Li charger. I charged it, still won't start before the battery is dead. Charged it again, still won't start. The battery is just not lasting long enough to get it warmed up enough to start it.
Question is - can I jump start the bike to get it started, then install the battery?
