Simon46 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Turned on ignition on yuasa batt pressed horn got a donk. Been on optimiser for a year. Multimeter connected 6.1 to 4.8 when horn button pressed. Indicators as well wont flash. Awaiting motobatt delivery and will report back. Do I need to charge the glass mat battery?

Simon46 Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 The donk has gone and bike is Horny again. Indicators JUST ABOUT flash with ignition on and bike not running. Volts drop to 6.1 during load. Batt was fully charged when delivered. 6.49 volts. Acid depleted below min in cells 2 and 3 on old batt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Airhead Posted March 17, 2018 Moderator Share Posted March 17, 2018 most likely dirty contacts in the ignition switch Simon, if you jumper a feed to the flasher relay brown (at a guess) it will prove that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
