My Springer just clicks
I installed a battery about 1 month ago,and I have been sick so I haven't rode it at all for a month,well just around the block a few times,maybe once a week.I just had a little work done to my bike,needless to say I couldn't wait to ride her.After driving about 30 miles I stop for gas,and I try to start it,nothing,well nothing but clicks.It sounded like a low battery instead of the 1 click for the starter.After finally getting some help with a push,I jump started it back home.I put it on the charger,but before it only read 10.1volts.Any ideas what is going on?

Are your battery bolts nice and tight?
|
Yeah,and I checked the ground,everything seems tight.
|
Well, 10 volts on a battery is definitely low. I know you just got a new one, but I think that is the culprit. Maybe your voltage regulator is having issues charging the battery.
|
Great,and just after paying my bill at the shop.Not real happy now,especially after the whole gas station situation.
|
did you charge the new battery before using?

Whats the easiest way to test it to see if it is indeed the problem? |
They have to be charged before you use them.

Left it on charge last night,now it is charged and ready to be tested. |
Ok,just went into the garage with a fully charged batter,after starting it the bike was registering 12.6 volts.
