Hi all I've been having problems with my bike sv650s k3 with no power to the front dash. It has a new battery a motobatt so I assumed it would not be that. I chased around the green connector and all the wires looking for any damage and so on. My friend came over with a voltmeter yesterday and the battery only has 4v? It is less than a month old and I've not ridden the bike yet as I've been bringing it back from the dead after sitting for 2 years. We jumped the bike and when revving the engine the volts jump up at about 13 but when the engine turned off the battery quickly drops to 4v again and won't give enough power to start the bike? I have a few options I guess charge the battery and see if it fixes itself? Replace the battery? I googled and read it could be a r/r not working properly? Any advice would be great please
