So, around a month ago I went out to my bike (2014 R1200RS) and tried to start it but it wouldn’t turn over, but had power to the display etc. I completed various tests after charging the batter and it appeared the battery was no good.
I changed the battery started the bike and away I went for a ride, came home turned everything off.
Job done? no. I went out to my bike again and it was completely dead no power on anything.
I have no accessories and have tested for parasitic drain, all appears to be ok.
I’m in the process of recharging the battery so I can do some voltage checks and test the alternator is charging the battery when I’m riding.
Does anyone else have some suggestions or known experience with this?
Thanks in advance
