right then ...


Noticed on way to Ireland it wasn't charging fully, but operating fine.

Monday i conked out, bump started fine. Put it down to me running battery down and having no idea how old the battery is I replaced it.

Installed it at me mates gaff, stuck it on his wee trickle charger overnight, to be sure.

Anyhoo, i gets 17 odd mile and conk out, on the M2 at about 70mph too ... manage to freewheel down a slip road, thru some lights and into a Firestation....

Sooooo... Not charging?


I get recovered home. Oh joy. 21 hours of joy to be precise..


Anyways, i am tinkering in the garage, put me hand in to disconnect the RR and manage to break a fuelhose clip. Petrol pissing everywhere.

that aside, it needs replacing. So I pulls new battery out, and hello, thinks I, this is a bit light??


Boiled dry. FFS!!!


So ... evidence is still pointing at the RR ....


Other opinions gratefully received, even if you only wanna point and laugh ... I can take it :cry:

* Points and laughs *


I think it's the lunar cycle causing it mate.

 

Is that like a light cycle :? ( think Tron ),,,


I know going back to the year dot with Triumph, there used to be two wires you could swop round, that put the battery onto a higher charge rate while riding,, but this was on the old 6volt system,, don't even know if this option exists on modern day bikes, but I know after prolonged use it used to cook a battery the way you describe,
