Failure to Idle after Jumpstart

[Alice Adam]

It has to be the battery. I had the same problem/sypmtoms with a van. Changing the battery was all I needed to do.

 

[HAHA! randomness]

It's a guess at this point but if you jump started it with a car or truck battery you could have burned up a sensor. As already mention, running the engine after a jump start will not completely charge a battery.

With what little bit of charge you got out of the jump start, the headlight and other accessories will keep the battery discharged and may not allow the sensors to work properly.

The sensors and electrical system is designed to only handle a certain amount of amperage.

If you jump started it from a car, I hope the car was not running or else you probably totalled your bike battery and probably the bikes charging system because of the amperage difference.

wasn't trying to "reset" it by riding it....just trying to charge the battery back. I wasn't home when this happened. thats why I had to jump the bike. no access to a charger to do it properly.

Oh I know.....but I was in a hurry and I wasn't home or I would have.

its practically a brand new battery, bought it a couple months ago, and its a H-D battery from the dealer. It drained because I left the damn LEDs on...
