bike has no battery power wont start
My bike left me stranded at the mall so after getting a jumpstart I took my bike home. On friday I got a new battery and drove my bike, same with saturday, and on sunday i rode to work. On my way home i stopped and my bike was dead again. I got it jumped and when I got home it wouldnt start.
What should I do? Is it my alternator/?

RE: bike has no battery power wont start
Probably one of two things
1 regulator/rectifier is fried, or
2 the battery they sold you was a dud........
Check out the posts on the Forum, there are many dealing with the issue, but for a start:
1 Check the voltage on the battery, with the bike switched off.Should be at least 12.4 volts
2 Start the bike, and measure the voltage across the battery terminals, with the bike running at 3000 revs or more - should be from 13.5 to 15.5 volts. If it isn't, then either 1 or 2 above are likely what's wrong, and more likely no1 - reg rec is fried. Replacement is easy, but can be expensive. Maybe pick one up secondhand from a breaker.
CHECK PAGE 4 OF THE PREVIOUS POSTS - STATOR AND REG REC PROBLEMS......
Hope this helps....

RE: bike has no battery power wont start
How about this one? It's used, but it's cheap enough.
Only like a day left on the auction, too. I was thinking of getting it myself, just for a backup.
