Mississippi Bullfrog Posted March 4, 2021 Posted March 4, 2021 How old is the bike though? A battery that hasn't been used will lose capacity to hold charge. It's possible it wasn't a brilliant battery to begin with? Quote
Welsh rider Posted March 4, 2021 Author Posted March 4, 2021 2016 plate but was bought brand new this year and put on the road and I notice there a small amount of charge in the battery as the small head light come on but it's very low but nothing in the big bulbs and got no brake lights and no lights at the back ? Battery is in there from manufacturers Quote
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted March 4, 2021 Posted March 4, 2021 So a four year old battery that hasn't been used. No wonder it's dead. I'm amazed it had anything in it to be honest. If you bought it from a dealer they should have replaced the battery. Check the tyres as well. They might be past their best and need replacing. Look for the date of manufacture on the side. Anything over 5 years needs replacing. Quote
