Battery Problem
Ok... So after buying a meter reader and checking the battery... with the engine off yesterday i was getting 12.96 and today i got 12.76.... with it idling it goes up and down between 12.99 and 13.20 and when i rev it to 3000 revs i get like 13.38 or something along them lines but its not constant.
does this sound like a battery problem or the regualtor/rectifer or the cables.... etc etc ooo i now have a slow puncture in the front and almost bald back tyre!!! |

Re: Battery Problem
Low voltages is symptomatic of reg/rec giving insufficent charge.
Not like a flat battery is a big problem for you at the moment, given the state of your tyres.

Re: Battery Problem
agreed although i dont fancy wheeling my bike home again for a couple of miles.... lol so you reckon its ht e rec/reg then and not the battery... is it worth trying the battery first and then if that dont work then getting a new regulator/rec

Re: Battery Problem
I wouldn't personally spend on a battery, only for the new battery to be ruined by the reg/rec as well.
IMO, replace reg/rec and invest in an optimate. |

Don't use car chargers on a bike, they won't work properly (and will more than likely over charge your battery & kill it). |

Re: Solar charging
Anyone tried solar panels for battery charging?
I charged my CB250rs for two years, kept a knackered battery on life support for ages! Steve |

Re: Battery Problem
Anyone tried just riding their bike?
 Way more fun than watching the lights on an optimate1
