Guest Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Hi there,In the last couple of weeks I discovered on the way to work that on using any lights on my bike, it cuts the engine. I've charged the battery and got her started again but there is something wrong with the circuit with the lights and I'm in need of a little advice. Anyone else had similar problems? Quote
eastanglianbiker Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 hi and welcome to the forum you need to check charging system and current being passed through battery when engine on tickover then when revving slightly and then again with lights on as it sound like the alternator might not be charging properly and is relying solely on battery power Quote
Stu Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 as above first check the voltage of the battery with the bike off then start it and check it again with lights off then again with lights on post the results Quote
Guest Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Thanks for the advice, I will have a look at it in the morning and post my findings, cheers Quote
