littlenemo6800 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Well I'm having some issues. The bike won't charge the battery well according to the Manual of 14v. I replaced the stator the rectifier and the battery with a litium ion battery. System only getting 13v tops at the battery please help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neversaydie Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Id start by checking all connections etc, particularly the earth connections, they need to be spotless clean for good contact 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike1949 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 How old is the battery? an old battery can literally just die, one minute it starts the bike perfect then the next time you press the starter it's flat as a pancake, no life at all. As for a "litium ion battery" I presume it's just a typo and you mean "lithium ion battery" I must admit I've never heard of one on a bike only in power tools. I've twice had a battery fail on me due to age, once on the bike then only a couple of weeks ago on the wife's car and in both cases it was the battery exhausted as in R.I.P. battery. But as NSD says check connections especially the earth lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
