Starting/Battery issue
So the other day the bike stalled out on me. When I pulled over to a safe spot it would not turn over. After 2 tries I could tell the batt was low. My wife came, gave it a jump rode it home. Later that night it started and rode just fine. Put battery tender on it anyway. A few days later I go to start it up and its dead again. Swapped batteries from the other CBR and same thing. Both batteries read fully charged on a tester, but I cant start without a jump. Its like they are not making enough power. The batteries are less than 2 months old and the temp is around 50-70 f.

well my meter is crap... so I just swapped out the switch and regulator from the bike thats waiting for the motor swap. When I went to check the regulator, I noticed that the owner before me had fitted a fan over it to draw the warm air away. Any thing you guys can think off that would cause enough heat for them to go through the trouble?

i had exactly the same thing on mine. even put a new battery on. i ran an earth lead from one of the starter motor mounting bolts direct to the negative terminal on the battery. instant cure. talking to a mate, and apparently this is standard wiring set-up on honda shadows, goldwings and F6C's?
