Hi fellow Fazers,
My Gen 1 needed a battery recharge after not being ridden for only a week. It did recharge OK but it took a over 24 hours to do so. With the battery on the bike I checked the voltage. When revved to 5k the voltage reads 13.9 volts, but at tickover it drops to 11.8 or 11.9 volts. Does this point to the battery or the charging system being duff?
Many thanks, Paul
