i posted a message about my 150cc getten hit by lighting and all my wires melted. so without a wiring harness i wired the thing from scratch with no eletrical expersence. well with help from diagrams and people from scooter doc it all worked out fine well sorta heres my problem. i dont have an ignition switch/key i push a button for a horn with 2 wires that goes to the cilanoid it starts fine but after about 2 days of not rideing or a couple of starts with no riding it wont start it makes a sheed sheed noise sounds like the starter makes a half turn stops then another half turn. so when i charge it it does it again then snaps then starts so i figured the battery was using power even after the bike was off. so i charged it disconnected the battery and 2 days later same thing sheed sheed then nothing charge it and sheed sheed snap start could the cells in the battery be dead. thins is driving me crazy i havent ridden all spring summer and falls comming up and i have to go for my M next year anny ideas.

Take your battery to an automotive place and ask them to LOAD TEST it... this will tell if the cells are fried.. I would think they are...
