Hi everyone

2 week ago my bike wouldn't start and it seemed as if the battery had gone, there was power in the battery but not enough to turn over the engine. So I charged it up and it worked fine for about 2 days then went dead again when I was leaving work. So I called out the RAC and they did a check on my battery said it needed replacing. They also did a check on the charging system and said it was fine, so we jump started the bike and rode it home. The battery that I was using was a 5 month old Yuasa YT12A-BS. I contacted the company last week and they replaced it straight away. But I am now having the same problem again, the bike is seems not to have enough power to turn the bike over. All of this has started since the cold weather.

Do you think it would be a battery problem or a bike problem?

Thanks everyone
