Battery goes Dead Overnight

[HondaRacing23]

I have a 200 426EX and I thought it was time to replace the battery since is 4 years old. SO i did and it went dead overnight. I put a full slow charge on it overnight afterinstalling it. Now it seems like it goes dead overnight. It is cold here in ohio but it shouldnt go dead overnight. what else would make it go dead quick. A short maybe but where anywhere?? =-)

[garett]

did it go bad or drain with old battery?

[HondaRacing23]

its not completly dead but it doesnt have enough juice to start the bike soon as i give it a litttle gas when starting it it kills is...

[garett]

i meant when you had your old battery in bro/did it drain or pull juice from it?

[HondaRacing23]

it was shot because of the cold. it wasnt dead but went dead in like 2 min after trying to start it. and it wouldnt charge either.

[garett]

could be a defected battery? plus how easy does your quad start? when its this cold ya dont have much battery time too try

now ill refer back to the plug issue your helping me with too. with a brand new plug it usually start very quickly sometime with the same plug too. but sometime i have to put a new plug init or it wont start at all..

[garett]

mine did the same thing bro, hell i tried to start it for an hour . pulled plug it was black which means its way to rich i put a new 1 in and started like it was 80 out (right away)

[HondaRacing23]

so a black plug doesnt nessesaryly(sp) mean bad?

I actually dont have any new plugs i have to order them because knowone around here stocks them and the bike shop wants like $4 bucks a plug and advance auto has them for less then $2 but they have to order them. im going to order like 5 of them today and put one in and check it that way. if its black what should i do? or should i just ride it like that? thanks for helping me man...

well here recently it has been starting fine with choke but not without. i know some people dont have chokes so i dunno. Colby told me to run a 170 which is what i have and it runs pretty good i think. others have told me a 160 if even to high... i am going to put a new plug in it and do a run with it and kill it while pinned ill check it that way...
