First off its awesome to see other motorcyclist stop and try to help if you have a problem, showing the love here! i love it,
Well, it started on Saturday, i have a 1989 CBR250 mc19 went to pak'n'save in Porirua and then rode to johnsonville, did my shopping jump on bike, for some reason the Battery was flat, didn't have enough power to start it, but i got someone to have a look and they jumped started it ......
two days ago, i brought a New Battery from motorad in tory street wellington, as the old one havnt been changed for about 5/6 years
the shop charged it from 9am when i brought i (i hope) and i picked it up going on to 4pm, the guy said ill need to put it on the charge but i didnt (is this the problem why it went flat)
got home put it in, and rode the next day to work and back home (Wellington to Tawa) brand new battery...
today, i rode to work and i was fine, rode home, i got to johnsonville back roads hitting into tawa, and then the bike just died, i couldn't jump start it as lol i didn't know how, when i turned on the key there was no power at all, if i walk it for a bit there was a little power. a few motorcyclist stopped by, and tried to jump-start it , it fired but wouldn't start................. got home 2hrs pushing it, and had a look at my terminals to see if they are rusty or something, they are still clean.... gave the battery a little charge and it starts perfect, then dies ... of course as its only a little charge
is it possible my battery is a dud?
i have no idea,
