Jump starting 4 Years ago  
I had to jump start my Roadstat last night because when i home I didnt turn off my aux lights. I jumped it with my truck. Started right up no problem. Pu the battery o n ther trickle charger all night and when I got up this morning battery was still dead. Could I have wrecked the battery??? Any help would be great.

Thanks

If you jumped it with the truck running you may have. Are you sure you had good connections with the charger?

I would think by leaving lights on you kill battery? but you didn,t say what year bike is how long you have had battery in it. Replaced my 05s battery last year went dead would not take charge never had to jump start it but have jump started my friend bike with mine never hurt either bike 'It was most likely your battery time to go RIP.

Did you jump it with the truck running?? Take it to an auto parts place and have it tested.

I think that what you should do take it to a autostore let them charge it and test it at the same time. I also think that if you bought last year it should still be under warrenty. keep us inform with it.
