I can hear combustion happen when I press the starter switch and the bike was turning over. However, if I release the starter switch soon (1-2 sec), the bike won't turn over. What I did this morning is exactly as Saturday night--hold the starter switch for a while to keep the combustion then the bike starts.
P.S. I used choke and bike is on neutral.
I'm thinking of use charger to charge my new battery every weekend in winter, does it hurt the battery?

Your post leads me to think you do not know what combuston is. Combustion is the act of the fuel and air inside of the cylinder exploding. If that is happening, the bike is started.
''Turning" means the engine is cranking but no combustion is taking place.
"Turning over" is the engine cranking and then combusion starts. At this point the engine IS started and running.
I think instead of "turning over", you meant "trying to turn over" which is an engine cranking with an occasional hit of combustion but not a stead cycle of combustion needed to keep the engine running?
A battery can be overcharged. Look into a "trickle charger" for a motorcycle. |
Yes, you got it right. I updated my last post based on your explanation, thanks.
I have a battery tender like this:
