TOPIC:

ok, my bike died on me today, and my battery is dead!
i jumped it and it started but when i took off the jumper-cables it died.

so, should i be-able to run the bike after its started with-out the battery hooked up? or should it die and not run?

i took off the jumper and it sputtered and backfired really loud! if i kept it connected it ran fine.
i rode for at least 30 min then hit the gas station!
when i went to take off it died and got flooded thats why battery is dead
how long can you ride on just battery power? few minutes? hours?
i had about 1.5 hours total run time on battery w/out recharging and always bright lights and started right up

any help will be greatful!!

Ok, I moved it and removed the "Please move" from your subject

If the battery was dead, it takes a while to recharge it, a few minutes won't do it.
Sounds like you may have charging system problems, there is a really good charging system troubleshooting guide in the filebase under the "KZ Information" tab at the top of the page.

thanks, and ill try not to let that happen agian!! lol!!

the 77 650 needs a battery to work correctly. Later models of the KZ 650 might be able to run without the battery.
