Battery is not charging, battery keep draining.
About 3 weeks ago, the battery drained, brought a new one. Still not keeping a charged, when I ride it, I can see the light flickering the higher I revved the faster the headlight flicker.
I want to say it is the Stator or is it something else I need to check.
Thanks

RE: Battery is not charging, battery keep draining.
My guess is that it is the Regulator/Rectifier (R/R). When they go bad, the battery doesn't charge. Do you have a multi meter? If so, check the voltage that is going into the battery when the bike is reved up to 5000 RPM. It should read 13.5 to 15 Volts. If it isn't post back and we can give you a couple other tests to confirm it's the R/R.

R/R was my problem. I replaced it and it has run great.
