Default Re: Forewarning of failing reg/rec?

Battery lighting lights up does not indicate it's charged. The fact that the bike doesn't work suggests it isn't.

Think about it, lights are tiny 5w affairs, the starter motor demands a huge belt of current, so a duff battery can power everything fine, or appear to, just not start the engine.
