two wheel tarmacer Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 My xt125 was charging, it had a strong output of 14v then, I had a look on the battery meter on the dash it was on three bars then went to 6 (12v) while running, and its charging on a very low output, and just trying to know where to go from here as far as parts, I mean as far as a loose connections, its sparking and running alright its just the voltage being kept in the battery Thanks for all the help Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j0hn Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 How old is the battery? I replaced the Lead-Acid battery on my XT to Motobatt AGM type a while back and even when it was new, the battery meter on the dash didn't show full bars. While not running, I have slightly more bars displayed on the meter and a slightly higher jump when running than your battery, so it might need replacing if it isn't already new (in which case it might be another issue). Also, are you using a decent charger such as an Optimate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
two wheel tarmacer Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 The battery is a month old, I mean I've got a 12v alternator testor for cars + bikes, and it used to be showing a strong output of 14v not its only showing weak output of 12v while running at 2k revs, so it must be a problem with the rectifier/regulator? I mean no I should get a good battery charger but I've only been using a sealy heavy duty 12/24v charger rarely, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
