this is ma current situation. I now owe kawasaki krr. Before i go for ma ns everything went well. 2 weeks later after i booked out from camp den try to ride ma bike, there were quite a few probs. 1st the battery went flat.. Funny thing is i jus changed it b4 i went to camp 2 weeks before. Week after week, same prob occurs despite i bring ma battery to charge it at ma nearest place bike shop. Engine able to start but there is no signal lights nor horn sound. I did ask ma elder bro to start ma bike only durin ma stay in camp. So wats wrong wif ma bike???

after charging then got sound and horn?

Starting e bike only drain the battery , you needa ride it to charge it. Or maybe ur rectifier is burn. If your goin to the Camp den u take out the battery . When ur back then connect it back .

an entirely new battery will not go flat after juz 2 weeks. a few possibilties lie, and a supposed new battery might be actually an old one or a faulty one.

 

charging do not occur at idling, as mentioned u need to ride it or maybe rev and maintain it at a certain rpm if u deem appropiate. a rough indication of a charging process is to be able to see that the headlight shines at a higher intensity than when idlnig.

Bro, another possibility might be your fuse is blown. I've experienced it before coz I changed the battery and yet my lights and horn not workin. So maybe you can try checkin your fuse.

The battery negative terminal should have two wires leading from it and the posiitive ( red) terminal should have only one leading from it ( this excludes any other wire like ERP whcih you had connected to it).

 

If one of the wires from the negative teminal is disconnected somewhere then even if you place a fully charged battery it will start to discharge by itself quickly.

 

Check the wires cominig out from the battery terminal and where it leads to. If the wire is bundled together then you'll have to open up the taping to see which wire has been disconnected.

If your bike is a kick-start model then don't worry about flat battery. At most your ERP unit won't be working (no power) and your lights will be gone. At least you can still start and ride your bike. My batt died on my once at the bottom of an upslope. I had to push it all the way up to ride down again (push start at the downslope).. underwear wet siah...
