Hi Everyone, I'm new to the forums.
Anyway, last fall I bought a 2007 S40 and put it into storage. I am a new rider with almost no riding experience, so I was pretty excited when it got delivered last week. I rode it 3 times so far, but then I got sick over the weekend and was out of commission. This week I went down to take it out and when I turn the ignition on I get no lights. After fiddling a bit I figured the battery must be dead. I don't know if I left the lights on, I can't remember, but this seems to be the only answer?
Anyway, I went out and bought a Genius G1100 charger and took the battery out. First time working on a bike of any kind.
Brought the battery upstairs and started charging it, only to find the charger throws up an error that means the battery is bad or the charge is too low.
So my question is, is the battery finished now? I know I could probably jump it and charge it, but I have no way to do that, I live in a building, which is why I had to take the battery out. I'm eager to ride, so I'm thinking my best bet is to just go by a new one that's already charged and try to remember to turn the lights off.
Suggestions?
