my battery was low (lights dim starter would not turn) so i charged the battery now at full charge but when I turn the key on absolutly nothing! no lights, no instrument cluster.
kickstand is up, kill switch ok, 4 fuses and they are all good,
what the he--!!!!

any ideas???

I dunno, did you pull your lefthand brake in when you turned the key, my scoot won't start unless the brake is engaged. Otherwise me thinks you might need to get the battery checked.

check your spark plug... it may either be loose or need to be replaced.

Re-check the battery connections. Maybe you knocked something loose when you were charging it, also look for corrosion on the terminals.

My hub suggested you check your ignition and starter too. Hope your baby has started and you are out enjoying it right now.

It could be that when you thought your battery was low, the problem was actually being caused by one or both of the battery terminals being loose. When you connected the charger, you may have further loosened the terminals, causing it (or them) to lose connection to the wiring system. Make sure both battery terminals are tight. Also, while you're working in the area of the battery, it's always a good idea to clean the battery terminals and the bolts that hold them to the cables with either a wire brush or medium-grit sandpaper. Clean the metal contacts of the cables as well.

Another possibility is that the battery has just completely crapped out. The act of charging a battery "excites" the positive & negative atoms that flow between the acid & the battery plates. If a battery is on it's last legs, then many times charging it will actually expedite it's demise.

The best way to check to see if the problem is caused by a dead battery is to remove it (or simply disconnect both cables) and hook up another battery, either via jumper cables from another vehicle or by installing another battery that you are sure is good. If you have other cycles around like I do (I have too many to list here!), then use one of those batteries. Or perhaps you have a friend who will let you use the battery from their scoot? If not, then just run jumper cables from your car battery (WITH THE ENGINE OFF!) to the disconnected battery cables on your bike and try to start it. Be sure to connect them POSITIVE TO POSITIVE and NEGATIVE TO NEGATIVE! If the connections are backwards, you'll do serious damage to the bike! If both of the battery cables are the same color, then mark the positive cable using either tape or "White Out" correction fluid before you disconnect them to avoid confusion.
