Battery?

I think mindes ****ed. will only start the bike 3 or 4 times then wants a charge. How do i test it? how much are new ones?

Is the SV650S curvy battery under the seat like on my sv400s and the tank has a bit of metal plate that rests onto it?

electrics arnt my thing realy. Or maybe its the charging thingy(i think it may be) rectifier or somthing? How i check that?

My battery went a while ago, took it into the local dealer and they tested it.

Cost me £24....I think, can't remember but it was something like that.

Pointy SV is under the front bit of the seat, need to take off 2 small side panels to get to it - don't know about the curvy.

Curvy is the same place

stick a meter across with enginr running if the meter reads 15v plus as you rev the recifier is knackered and has fried the battery

Yeah curvy is under the front seat. Remove the 2 bits of black plastic under the seat using a 6mm allen key (not supplied in my tool kit ) then the seat comes by removing the 2 bolts. Think they are around 17mm size or so. There is a black plastic bit with some fuses on it and the battery is under this.
