Default Re: Is it the battery???

Sounds like your battery is flat and or is knackered and not holding its charge.

Could also be a fault with the charging circuit on your bike and that when you do ride it, its not charging the battery properly. Have a search for threads on regulator / rectifier failure as its quite a common fault on the Curvey SV. Its been covered loads of times and it'll tell you how to check your charging circuit with a multimeter.

If all thats fine then you'll need to do something about your battery. If its the bikes orginal battery then its probably worth spending a bit of money on a replacement battery. At this point investing in an optimate or some such other trickle charger is also a good idea as it'll keep your battery topped up when your not using the bike.

Hope that helps.
