if the horn gets softer than usual means the battery's weakening..

 

one simple way is to see your neutral light.. if it flickers and glows dim means the battery's almost dead..

 

if battery dead then most probably have to push start.. cos last time my battery died i couldn't kick start..

[arthur_chan]

didn't know kick start need battery?

Just to add on...When u feel ur electical system getting weak like,headlites dimmer,elect starter like taking awhile to start....at time it can be due to the connections at the battery terminals or the connectors rusty ,so just sand paper them abit and reconnect....

If cannot crank, most probably is the starter motor.

I think now days dry cell popular due to maintaince free....but i tink...usually thos cl2 and 2a bikes which depend on electricals use wet cell better...

 

cus dry cell 1nce flat have to ride ard or charge maunally,which i tink cl2 and 2a bike needs batt to start,not sure abt push start...

 

wet cell...if batt weak,u can notice the symtoms,like what 1 of the bro said in the previous post....so in tt case u can just top up batt fluid and ride ard to charge....

 

If like urgent cases where batt suddenly flat and stuff while travelling...best is to stop see the condition,off the headlight and rev for at least for ard 5mins....that will charge up the batt abit...

 

So wet cell...batt completely died and u just refilled the batt liquid,do the same thing....let the batt liquid settle in for abt 15min-30min+,and before riding off ,just rev for a while to get the batt slightly more charged...

 

Hope it helps...

i would say it wont happen... its still kickstart activated...

 

so quite safe.... i've been thinking alot about it... but i dun think it'll not start up at all...

 

especially on such a new bike... dun worry lah.

[Guest axel85]

kickstart bikes will never have battery problems...

 

battery flat still can start...

 

i'm speaking for your bike, spark135 in specific...

 

Yes you are right!!! Battery flat still can start. As for my NSR150SP, when my batt is flat i just need to close my headlight and i can successfully start the engine. After starting the engine, i turn the tuner inside my bike and let it charge for 5 mins or so.

the horn symptom is a sign of battery cannot make it already.

 

just get a new battery if budget allows.
