Losing power & stalling?

[Ragingrob]

Yea turn the key to on, the exup loads but not to this extreme really doesnt sound healthy, plus then theres the issue of it stalling when put into gear.

When you put a bike into gear, it usually provides a little power and actually turns the wheel even though the clutch is fully in... This could be just pushing it over the limit of power the battery is giving out.

The manual should show you where the reg is located, if you can just visually check that out before the mechanic comes. Otherwise, a multimeter is only $20 :P and is a great thing to have in the long-run anyway.

The guy in the battery shop said it has all that done to it, cant remember if said anything about charging though. I'll take it out have a look.

The only thing that clicks when I turn MY bike on is the electric fuel pump. Dont know if yours has one (doubt it) The only other issue is a silly thing like sidestand cut-out switch playing up...assuming it has one of those...

Doesnt have an electric fuel pump. Just checking the battery.

I've got the battery out, its fully loaded with fluids but the charge is low so thats what it could be. Got it on charge now, fingers crossed! Bloody assumptions!

Sweet good on ya, make sure you don't overcharge it either though

Check your charging system. Do you smell any odd rotten egg smell? If so you might have a fried wire somewhere...a new battery should not have charging issues unless you have a problem.

Check all connections TO the battery, plug connectors to. Just to make sure. Wriggle all the wires each side of plugs. Only takes one broken wire...or dirty connection...

Its not the battery, battery was all good. Its starting to blow white smoke now, it was clean before.
