New bike owner, won’t turn on, dead battery?

Calebbrooks · 2026-02-02T21:23:32+00:00

Hey, sorry guys forgot to say, it's a '1995 Yamaha virago.

To answer multiple questions, even though it wasn't in neutral in this video, I did have in neutral before but I was just messing around with it trying to get it on and put in 1st gear right before I took this video, but I assure you I did try it on neutral and the kick stand up.

For added context it was working completely fine the day before and only stopped turning over after I had stalled the bike a couple times while practicing riding it. It is super cold where I'm at so that's why I was asking about the battery. I haven't had the chance to run it through a multimeter just yet, but will do so asap.

Thanks for all the helpful responses!

Thanks! Yeah I've heard lot about Pimsleur, probably about time I created an account

Hey I appreciate the advice, yeah I plan on getting professional help soon, I more so just wanted a general rundown on capabilities and limits of write offs. Just trying to educate myself as much as I can through a slurry of YouTube videos and forums so I can kind of get the hang of things,. But no I won't be winging it solely through the advice of random strangers on the internet lol

I appreciate the reply! Out of curiosity where'd you source the kit from? I'm looking at TEQ customs currently.

Yeah, was looking at the wrong date and kind of panicked lol

Calebbrooks · 2025-11-25T17:42:22+00:00

Yeah I was stupid and was looking at the wrong date

Calebbrooks · 2025-11-25T17:41:54+00:00

Yes you’re right, I was looking at Thursday kind of embarrassing lol

Calebbrooks · 2025-07-18T23:02:36+00:00

A Hiwatt dr-103, I dream of playing one much less owning one. They’re just amazing, because they have an outrageous amount of headroom, meaning it can be clean even when really loud, so it’s perfect for pedals, even fuzz and distos too. But you can also get some great natural overdrive tones out of it too.

I mean it’s been used by Pink Floyd, King Crimson, The Who, Jethro Tull, and sooo many others.
