Stu Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Honda = more then likely dead rec/rec have you got a multi meter? check the voltage with the bike running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Not charging mate.......need to check the charging rate....but I suspect the Regulator/Rectifier could be shot......need to check the voltage at the battery with the bike off....and then with the engine running......

buggerit Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 as everyone else has said, i had that issue a few weeks ago, turned out the battery for me but when i tested it off the bike the optimate said good. the voltage was 12.3 if i remember but when i got a new battery it was around 13.5v fully charged. on the bike at around 5,000 revs think it hit around 14.9v or so. think really its going to be the reg/rec as your batterys new but you could check your wiring's ok after that alternator but im pretty sure reg/rec will sort it and their cheap and easy to fit.
