As far as jumping from a car I am not sure if it is a good or bad idea. Both are 12V systems. I would assume jumping a bike is no different than jumping a car? I think it would be more difficult with the new bike. The battery on my old bike was under the seat, easy jump! |
When you jump a motorcycle, do not turn on the car/truck! Just hook the cables up. Now to help with your problem....
First, as someone mentioned, check the 30 amp fuse by the battery. It is under a white cover. There are 2 fuses there. One is a spare. The one closest to the battery is the "woking" fuse. If the fuse is ok, then hook up the jumper cables. Then turn the bike on and see if the lights, speedo light etc come on. If they do, the battery is the problem.
If nothing still works, disconnect the jumper cables. Then turn on the key and see if your tailight is on. If it is on, I'm 99% sure it is the key switch. Some of the 05 and 06 C50's have a bad ignition switch. I just went through this last week.
Let us know...
