Just sounds like your battery is fubared. They dont like staying flat, ive had a batteru die that was being charged with a battery charger once a week just suddenly die. Ive also had one completely dead the day after it had a long drive and therefore should of had a charge, but it just gave up the ghost randomly.

Did you ever check that whether the battery holds its charge if it's disconnected from the bike?

Have a look at the wiring on the back of the fuse holder, my S3 had issues with the battery dying all the time and it was a corroded wire on the back.

Here's todays readings: Off: 12.95 Bike On: 14.48 approx. 5,000 RPM : 14.48 approx. I've now disconnected the battery and I'll take regular readings this week. One thing that is a slight concern possibly is that after I unhooked the battery and took a reading it was 12.98, .03 higher then when connected but off. Could that indicate that there is a slight drain or is that negligable? |

Sorry for spamming!
As I'm bored and after doing a bit more reading I've just tested the battery voltage again and its now 12.74v. Also, I've reconnected the postive lead and and ran the multimeter between the negative terminal and negative wire. I beleive this should be 0 if all is fine but just got a reading of approx. 11.4v. Battery? |
