Battery or charging fault? Curvy.
So went to leave work and bike turned over a couple of times then slowly died. I am confidently assuming it is the battery. I had a new reg/rec about 18 months ago but the symptoms when it broke down were completly different, on that occasion it died completely this time all the lights work and will attempt to turn when left for a few minutes.
Lucky one of my colleagues rides a Triumph Daytona so I rode pillion home. Whats everyone else think? Sent from my Galaxy S2 using Tapatalk |

No probs Davey Have a look at my charging thread or the below quote from my thread as it might be of some help.

Re: Electrical Issue
I did that it was 12.9v which according to that guide is fine.
Just checked the old battery I took off that is putting out 12.1v, does this mean faulty? |
