Why did my bikes battery die??? Spot the idoit
 

This afternoon i popped down to Looe (from Torpoint, Devon) during my split shift from work, bike started fine, no probs

After 10 mins buying a new pair of sun glasses, i went back to the bike, pressed the starter button and..................nothing.....dead as a doe doe

I knew what was wrong by that point as i fitted a fan to my reg/rec (50x50x10 fits perfectly) yesterday afternoon so i rang the RAC to come and give me a jump start, then i waited.....and waited............and waited (it must of been about 25c today and i was waiting in a car park with no shade)...and waited..........i used £6.45 of credit chasing the RAC to find out what was going on......and waited some more, in fact it was over 4 hours :shock: until they arrived, which considering they told me the second time i spoke to them the wait was 2-3 hours, i was a little annoyed, but the fourth time i spoke to them (at 6.20pm) they said the bloke was 20 mins away.

At 7.40 pm the man arrived and asked what i needed, so i told him i needed a jump start and he had no clue what so ever as to how to jump start a bike from a donor battery :roll: so i showed him

Got back to work at 8pm, 2 hours late and after firstly ringing the RAC at 3.26pm

After work a mate jumped started the bike so i could get home, racing the dark because if i put the lights on, the bike would cut out (but re-bump itself back to life), checked the charging system and the battery was at 10.6v with no difference with the bike running

So guess what the problem was :wink:

Oh FFS not one them 'guess the problem' again :roll: :wink: .

Go on then , make me night :lol:

Well i found the cause and fixed the problem..........the main problem was me being a forgetful idiot :lol: :lol: but the other problem was...................?

cut out switch?

Nope, try again :lol:

I was going to say 'heated grips', but it's hardly the weather for them.

So - parking light?

Left the fan running
