Ok i am not having much luck with my bike i am trying to to find out why the battery wont hold a charge and what is draining the life from the battery.
What i have tried I have used a volt meter and checked battery with key off and it says there is like 12.1v then i turn key on and it goes to 8volts and 7volts.
Not sure if this is like a car at all but on a car you are able to take the battery out after the car is running and it will still run so i gave that a try started it up then disconnected my battery and then it just dies. Not sure if this is normal or what.
So if you guys give me some advice on how to check to see if the stator is giving out the juice and the right amount of it.
Thanks
