Here is the background. I have a stock 05 400ex and have about 15hrs on rebuilt motor. 4hrs on since they did the 10hr breakin inspection/adjustments.
Yesterday I go to start it and one of the kids left the key on so dead battery. Try to charge wont take one. Want to go riding so I jump it with run of the mill battery jump pack. The reverse hook alarm came on the battery pack. Was hooked up correctly. Starts and idles fine. Even runs fine up to about 5000 rpm. Then it starts to dog down like when you have the choke on or hitting rev limiter. Even after riding for some time the battery wouldn't hold a charge to flicker a light.
I just went and got a new battery and it is charging. I dont have anywhere to test it by my house. Looking for ideas on what it might be for when I take it to where I can ride it. I am guessing that the new battery is not going to magically fix this issue.
Any ideas?
