Did you check the battery voltage before connecting?

I couldn't jump start the bike!
Did you check connections?

Why can't I start my bike??? My other question is: Wouldn't a battery kinda recharge itself if I rode the bike over an hour?
If the Charging system works properly, yes. We will need more info to diagnose.

Please help...
If battery reads 12.6 after recharge, battery is "ok". Next, check fuses, especially the main fuse. Also make sure you have proper connections at battery and ground.

Do any lights come on when in ON position?

Have you installed any thing electrical on the bike recently?
