Hey, just got back into town. My goddamned Urbie won't start, none of the electrics (lights, horn, signals) seem to be coming on, I checked all the wiring i could easily get to and it looked fine, checked my fuse, it was fine, think my battery may be dead, how the hell to i charge it?

I've already tried jamming a stick in it, nothing happened.

Did you use the right kind of stick?

If it's 12v, use this:

If it's 6v, find the same thing for 6v.

[FakeDad]

wow nice. I feel like i should still be able to start the damned thing without the battery. But alas she won't start.

I'm going to need a bigger stick.

I gotta a charger. Holler at me some time this weekend.

[FakeDad]

I'm hollerin'.

bought that thing from Harbor Freight, but my battery seems totally dead, not sure if it'll work.

I got a battery charger floatin around somewhere down there too...I think sam has it maybe??? But I think you should be able to bump start it or something without a battery...right?

[Slink]

You still getting spark? take the plug out, put it in the boot, hold it against a good ground (like the engine head), and kick it over. Did you see a nice blue spark? Did you shock the shit out of yrself? If you get spark the bike should run without the battery. (I think).

[FakeDad]

I might have messed it up when i tried to load it into a car....  I'll check for spark, now i get to go buy a spark socket.

he he he. mopeds are cheap. he he he.

[FakeDad]

HA! I just wasn't using the right stick. She's alive again.
