Hi,

 

i have a small problem with my drz.

My bike is unable to start and I have changed battery twice in 1 month and it died again.

TO all the experts out there what could be the problem with my bike? and how much will it cost to get it repaired?

Starter? Magneto Coil? Rectifier?

These are the few problems with our bikes.

 

Hope this helps..

Happy Thumping...

Why didn't whoever changed the battery the second time find out the cause?

 

Do u happen to have any electrical accessory on the bike?

[quraisy]

i presumed its a flat battery,

currently am using vapour meter and thats all and my voltmeter shows a reading of 11.3-11.0(after charge) when switch on.

I am afraid it could be my strator or my regulator/rectifier.

Yea but why is it causing a good battery to go flat so quickly is what you're trying to find out ma... Might be not charging or sth is drawing current away while your bike is parked... Hmmm...

From past incident at a workshop i used to go, met a fellow riding a drz had the same problem as u described. Turn out to be a burnt stator.

 

How long have u been riding ur zee? Milage? Regularly change EO?

mm..been using it for almost 2.5yrs...

changing of EO used to be once a month but now its 2 months once cause i seldom ride the bike, onli for weekends or go makan or any kind of short trips.

 

wow a burnt stator could be damn ex..unless i got it from ebay.

Any good shops to recommend with a reasonable pricing.

That could well be it. Not giving enough charging to the battery.... How's the colour of the oil when u drain it anyway..?

Didnt notice the EO when changing that time.

Surprised today battery went flat again on me. Sianz, any good shop to recommend to change and with good reasonable price?

Bro...i happened to have suffered the same thing with my first DRZ...

same thing..changed battery but still the problem of cannot starting bike reoccurred...

Back then, I also seldom ride everyday..so i thought it was ok to change engine oil 2mths once..

but that was my down fall...Regular oil change is actually necessary..

 

From what u've mentioned, I can only assume 3 things..

• Starter Carbon Brush have worn out

• Rectifier

• Magnetic Coil

 

If u press the electric start and u only hear a click sound without any cranking, it may just be the Starter Carbon Bush. For your sake I hope its just the Starter Carbon Brush coz its not that expensive.

 

But its the Rectifier and Magnetic Coil that is the killer.

From your explanation of voltmeter reading only 11.3-11.0 after charging, the problem may just be one or both of the them.

 

Hope this helps bro...
