More or less is not good. a reading of 12v is not good, contrary to what people sometimes think. Less means the battery is shot [doubt it is more than 12.7v, but if it is it means the bike is probably overcharging]. Also check the battery connections, are properly tight. sometimes the connections are good enough to intially power-up at ignition on, but the moment demand is made on the battery (starter motor turns), the connection goes resistive and the electrics go down. Connecting a charger alone, does not do anything if a battery has a problem (depending on the charger it may actually make it unserviceable), some battery charger/tender/maintenance devices can fix a battery (albeit quite temporarily) if it is deep-discharged/sulphated etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
