Hello all...
The battery in my VFR (2002) seems to have shit on me... well I think so anyway... this is what I got:
It shows 12.5 volts... but drops to about 3.9 when I try and crank the bike... I jumped the bike down the hill in front of my house and then measured at the battery and I have 13.6 volts when running...
It's been acting up for a little while now... if it sits too long it won't start... if I start it periodicly it seems fine... so to me... sounds like battery...
Thing is... 1) The bike is only 2 years old and 2) I honestly keep all my batteries, this one included, on tenders all winter etc...
So what gives? Is this a normal life span for a $105 sealed, maintanence free YUASA YTZ12S battery?
On a side note... I didn't start having problems with it until after Sky Cycle did the altenator "recall" on it... so part of me wonders if they messed something up...
Anyway... any thoughts or comments welcomed...
Thanks!
Mike
