Another battery issue
Hi Orgers,
Have been reading the various threads on starting issues etc after the welsh tt when i had some troubles. I have now tested the battery with a multimeter and the results i have got have confused me a little After a hours ride to work i tested the battery and the reading i got was 12v (bike off) Later on i tested it agian still 12v on the battery when stood still. When i turn the bike on with the lights and rev to 5k the voltage on the bike drops between 11-12v. But when the bike is on tick over the voltage goes up to 13v but it is droping when the bike is reved. Any ideas? edit- Problem rasied its head after a long run with lights on. Commuting to work etc im having little issues.......Yet Last edited by Bris-Rob; 24-04-09 at 02:30 PM. |

Re: Another battery issue
Regulator.
But to check further as the regulator steps the current down to get it into the battery we can check the alternators output from the engine: Quote:
