| Came out from work to a dead battery in my 07 Ninja 650r. The battery is a year and a half to two years old. The GF came down and jumped it with her car. I had to stop and get gas....had to jump it again. I made it onto the freeway and about 8 miles before it died while driving. Jumped it again and made it home. I never charged the battery since I installed it. It is my daily driver. Does this sound like just poor battery maintenance on my part or is my stator shot? The lights and gauges slowly got dimmer as I rode home until it died. Would a stator put out enough to keep it running once its started and at freeway speed or is it a problem of a very drained battery? |

a motorcycle charging system is designed to keep a charged battery charged. it generally won't charge a bad or dead battery. charge your battery and (have it) load tested. if it's good. or with a new battery. check your charging system output. regulator/rectifiers, stators, along with batteries are common parts that fail. sometimes all together. you can do all the tests with a volt/ohm meter.
oh, have you recently added any (electrical) accessories? it's a balanced system and it doesn't take much current draw to upset that balance and eat up the current that should be going to charge the battery. |

Quoted:
First guess in the Rectumfrier (Rectifier  ).
Second is hte battery 3rd is stator 4 is......its a Honda  You trying to be funny is nothing but pure fail. Ninja's are not made by Honda. I therefore would conclude from that fail, that you really don't know what you're talking about with motorcycles at all. As punishment, send OP and myself 2,000 rounds of 5.56x45 ammo from your basement bunker and we will forgive your failure.

Motorcycle charging systems are fickle creatures, but generally speaking most batteries fail as a result of excessive heat, or from being overcharged.
Do you know how to use a multimeter? If so, test it at Cold, idle and load and compare it to what's considered normal. |
