Battery trouble

Post by swild123 »

I need a bit of advice, my vtr battery was new last year and has been on a optimate through winter. My bike started fine and I took it for a 10 mile ride turned it off and went to start it straight away and nothing just clicks battery is flat. I've done the initial checks with the multimeter and it seems to be in the right voltage for regulator unless I'm testing it wrong. Any advice/help would be most appreciated as I want to get out on her again cheers.

Sounds like the battery isn't charging.
If the battery is taking a charge but it's not topping up as you ride the bike will stop in a few miles.
Meter out the reg rec .
There's a how to in the workshop knowledge base.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
