It started yesterday when I partked my bike for a while, but forgot to turn the key to the off position. When I got back my battery was dead so I push started it and off I went. I rode about 5 miles or so back to work. When I left at the end of the day it was dead again, so I push started it again to start on my way home. About half way home the bike decided it just wasn't going to idle. Every time I shift it dies, every time I come to a light I have to use the clutch and rev it up to keep from killing the engine. Could this all have to do with a battery that needs to be replaced?

 

I'd put the battery on a motorcycle charger and charge it all the way and then see what happens. Technically once running the system should provide enough output voltage to run the bike, but at low RPMs it does not put out enough juice.

 

Thanks, thats what I'm trying tonight.
