Stalled then bike went dead!!!

[beads]

So i was comming up to a round about and yes i stalled so when i went to start it the battery just wouldnt let it start all of a sudden nothing, ended up having to bump start it down the hill... so my question is how all of a sudden its gone on me@??

The bike in question si a 54 plate cbr 600 rr

Thanks for any help....

Also sorry if i have posted this in the wrong section.

Does the battery have a history of being a bit temperamental?

since ive had the bike only a couple of weeks so im not sure on the history of it, some times after a ride it will struggle but then start.. but today gave up the go.

Moved into Pitstop for you

Sounds like it isn't charging properly. Can you get hold of a multimeter?

[Assuming the battery is flat] - the bike might have been stored for a long period without using a battery tender. This type of battery doesn't like to be fully discharged and they won't hold a full charge again.

EDIT: after reading your above post it sounds more intermittant, so i'm wondering if there's a loose connection? Check the battery terminals aren't corroded and are attached/secured properly.

Good thinking that man!

My first thought, was the warm weather may be making the REG/RECT play up .. but best to check the simple stuff first.

Hywel had similar couple of weeks ago .. here

Thanks for the replys thus far...

So i jsut went out and checked and the bike started on the button, now i can feel the bike getting rather hot, and the bike is running at about 110degrees max, in traffic that is, and 90+ on a run. so im not sure... but like i say its cooled down now and it started straight up.

yes, I agree too- "Check the battery terminals aren't corroded and are attached/secured properly" would be the first thing to check as flat but good batteries stay flat until charged

Good Luck

just checked it with a volt meter, when bike is off its 12.5v, when on its 13+ volts, battery seems ok to look at, but i think it could of been out of the bike before though as the registration of the bike is on it? any ideas with that one. ?

Thanks again

Explain further this 'registration of the bike is on it' ??

At least it looks like it is charging, next step is to see if the same happens when it is warm ....

I think someone has written the reg no. on the battery like a shop would, if it was removed to be charged,
