No, a 1983 Honda Xl250 does not need a battery to start.
No you do not need a battery, but the lights and horn will not work unless you have a battery installed, dead or not.
Might need to clean out the carberator,or needs a new battery
Good idea to check the battery. Might need to be charged, or changed.
it can be lots of stuff mate... Battery needs charging, dead battery, wires have a problem somwere, fuse of accelerator in the dash blown, even check your fuel level, you need a Honda expert for this...
The battery size for a 2002 Honda CBR 600 F4I is YTZ10S. This battery can be purchased at any cycle shop or auto parts store.
There is no battery in the starter.
One of the Honda forums repeatily identified Type 51R
if its an electric start its probably in need of a new battery my xr 125 had the same problem and just had it changed and all is working fine hope that helps
Anyplace that sells batteries can tell you the correct size battery you need.
Only if the battery fails the load test.
Get a mt-51 or an mt-51r
