Battery draining - Help
 
For the last two days my bike doesn't want to turn over in the morning and when I come out of work. It sounds like the battery is dead and it'll start fairly easy on bump in second gear. Two weeks ago I changed the front indies and its been running ok since then and now all of sudden this happens. Coincidence? Anything else I should look out for?

Is there a dodgy ticking sound?

Could be the regulator.

They have a habit of giving up at inopportune moments.

Mine used to do this quite a lot because i didnt use it because i didnt have a licence to ride mine. My alarm used to drain it. Do you leave it and not use it say over weekends? Have you left the parking lights on maybe?

I use it for work everyday, its a 15 mile ride there and back. No alarm and the lights are switched off when shes parked up. And the parking lights aint on either.

hmm sounds bit dodgy, when i had this problem i bought a optimiser from HG for 25 ish squid. Still if you dont know what is causing the problems you may wanna check everything out or take it to a garage. I took the battery to halfords to have it checked for dead cells.
