Exclamation Electricity consumption for CBR

I have issues with electricity consumption.
I got 4 headlights, LED front turn signals, and LED rear front signals on.
I can start it up, and run around.
After riding for 10-15min and if i shut the engine off, the ignition doesnt work.
If i fully charge it, it runs again but do the same thing. (By just using two headlights{Low})
The battery itself is 05 so shouldnt be a bad battery.(I have 92 stock too, and do the same thing)
Does anybody know if I could keep the battery consumption low, or any other way to keep it running?

get a bigger battery (car size) or take off two lights. your stator is not going to be able to keep your battery charged

If i were to change the battery to the bigger one(If you were talking about 24V), do i have to change relays and all that kinda stuff too?

When talking about a bigger battery it means more amps/current (Ah), not more voltage (V).

The more Ah (Ampere-hours) a battery has the more power you can draw for a longer amount of time.

There are a wide selection of batteries available, in all price ranges. Generally bigger physical size = more Ah. But, a bigger battery doesnt necessarily need to be physically bigger. It just mean the battery has better internals so you get more juice out of it.

As a comparison, your typical motorcycle battery delivers 8Ah, while a car battery willl have 75Ah. Both are 12V though.

But keep in mind one thing. Your bikes charger has got to deliver enough amps to both keep the battery fully charged at all time AND deliver power to your extra lights. It's no point upgrading the battery if the charger cannot deliver enough juice to charge it.

If those extra lights each have a 50W bulb, then you are adding 200W/12V=16 amps, increased current strain on your bikes charger/stator/regulator/battery. Thats quite alot.

Okay thanks guys especially Viking!!
and thanks for a suggestion Hershey.lol

I just realized there were sctatches on the alternator case.
So the alternator could be the problem too. Im opening it tomorrow and see if theres a loose wire or something.

I used voltmeter and checked a couple things and I think there are some problems with chargin system, or something like that.
