Battery Problems on my Yamaha FZ6

[mfhmme75]

Hey Guys ,

This is my first post here in the forums, i got the Yamaha FZ6 2005 model yesterday, and everything was going good until i tried to turn it on again this morning where the battery was dead, i took it to an electrician and he changed a burnt wire that supplies the battery, BUT, when I have high headlights on, the bike's battery gains drained SUPER fast, wouldn't start up twice, not having any other problems when low headlights are on only, any insight ?

There seems to be an outbreak of charging issues lately.

How old is your battery? If it's old, a mechanic or a good auto-parts store should be able to load-test it for you.

Check voltage while bike is off, before you go to sleep and then check it in the morning. Is it dropping?

When the bike is idling, voltage should be over 13. When you bring the RPM's up to 4k or more, it should read 14.

Once we have the answers to above, we'll be able to give you more help.

Typically it's one of 3 things: battery / stator / (regulator/rectifier).

Also check the voltage with the headlight on high.
