Went to the Fazer after leaving it for about 4 weeks. Pressed the starter and......... nowt.
Checked the voltage of the battery and it was 4.5v.
Jump started the bike and then measured the voltage at the battery at tickover, 12.5v. Revved the bike up to about 5K and the voltage was still 12.5V.
So, does this indicate a Voltage regulator or Alternator failure? I would have said it was the rectifier, because I'm getting a voltage coming in to the battery and if the alternator was US it wouldn't be giving anything out. Right?
I'm pretty sure the battery is US too, so ill get a new one.
So, do we have anyone out there who knows about such things on here?
