It won't start. put it up to my car battery to try and jump it

So i tried to jump it with my car battery i hooked up the jumpers to my car battery without starting the car then i hooked up the positive jumper to the positive terminal to the bike then i just tuched the negetive jumper to the negitive side of the battery on the bike and it started but, the second i took the jummper off the negitive side the bike it would die and it would not have any power at all. I tried this for about 10 min. and the same thing kept on happening it would run just fine until i would take the jummpers off and it would loose all electrical power and the bike would die.

You need a new battery. the current one is no longer capable of holding a charge or storing energy.

when you do buy one, remember to top charge it off the bike, then install it.

Why my car is dead after sitting for 3 days. when first hooked up jumper cables the interior lights came on then went off and wouldnt even turn over
If your battery is dead after 3 days it's probably getting stuffed or else you left something on. Anyway jump starting should work regardless. How good are your jumper leads? You need a pretty heavy set to start a car not those skinny things you get at super cheap auto stores. Hook them up and start car you're jumping off and run it at a high idle for about 5 min then try and start your car. That should put a base charge into your battery and it should go. If not buy a new battery.

Car won't start totally dead no radio, lights
Charge it, or hook up jumper cables, wait a few minutes before you actually try to start it. Make the ground to the running engine the last connection you make.

Engine won't start, just clicks, wouldn't start even after trying to jump start
battery is dead try to pair of jumper cables connected the same way as a single jumper cable this increases the cross sectional area of the wire causing more current flow

How do I jump start my car
You can use a jump box or another car. Using another car while running hook the red cable of the jumper cables to the positive battery terminals on each car. Hook the black cable to the negative battery terminals on each car. Now try and start the car with the dead battery.

2012 VW Jetta TDI battery won't hold charge and car only clicks and won't start
You need to charge your battery up more. Either get a battery charger or leave the jumper cables hooked up for a longer period of time.
Your battery was probably completely dead. You might even need a new battery...they really don't like to be completely drained.

The car was running fine one day then the next day it would not start. We tried jumping it thinking the battery might be dead and it still would niot start. The car has power until we take the jumper...
Sounds like you have a toasted battery or alternator. Have you performed a load test on the battery? Have you tried to charge the battery? First remove the battery and charge it externally from the vehicle. If the battery won't hold a charge, or won't hold a charge of 12 volts, replace it. Once you have the vehicle started, test the operation of the alternator. It should be putting out at least 13 volts back to the battery to keep it charged - if it is putting less than 13 volts or more than 16 volts, replace the alternator.

I went to start my 2005 PT Cruiser and got a loud clicking sound and it won't turn over. Is it the starter?
probably not sounds like either a dead or weak battery or bad connections on the battery posts. first take battery cables loose clean terminals and hook back up hopefully then it will start. or use jumper cables and see if it will jump start. if it jump starts then you no its not starter.if it doesnt jump stsrt then clean posts and cable ends and try again. hope this helps. best of luck

My 98 aurora will start if u jump it. but without jumping it i get absolutly nothing. I dont know if this can be a starter, altenator, ignition switch or something as little as a battery terminal
If you can jump start it, then the battery must be weak, or possibly shorted out. Have you tried another battery? I assume that you are hooking the jumper cables to the battery terminals when you are jump starting the engine. That would eliminate any problem with the ignition switch. Put a battery charger on your battery and see if it will hold a charge.
