Hi All,
First time posting on here.
I had my bike in the garage and forgot to connect up the trickle charger. Obviously when I tried to start it for first ride of the year it was flat as a pancake. Left the trickle charger on for a few days and then the bike fired up great. Rode to work and back a few times 8 miles each way. The. Went to start it last week and wouldn’t start. Out the trickle charger on again and tried it yesterday. Started first time so left the bike to idle and run up to temperature then switched off. Went to ride bike to work this morning and bike wouldn’t start. Just getting a clicking noise. I’ve got the fairing off and fuel tank up so I can access the battery terminals.
Does anyone know what voltage I should expect across the battery terminals
a) for a healthy fully charged battery with key in off position.
b) should I get the bike running, the voltage to expect that would show a problem with the charging circuit. Regulator/Rectifier etc.
Any help would be appreciated.
For info it’s a FZ6 2004. Headlights disconnected to remove drain on battery before starting.
