Battery Question

[DonutBoy77]

Got problem with my bike battery, dk whats wrong with it.

 

Firstly, my signal light. Signal light wont blink(just light up) when at a stop with my brakes engaged, no brakes, it blinks.

Secondly, realised that got a time after i refuel to full tank, the signal lights dont have anymore problem, but after a few days, same thing happens.

Lastly, now when my bike is switched to on mode, like no electrical power there, no neutral light, and very weak headlights, but still can start.

 

Recharged at a shop 1-2 weeks ago, worked perfectly for only about 3-5 days then the 1st problem (signal light not blinking) comes back again. The 3rd problem just happened recently.

Also just notice that my light only lights up brighter at around 2 rpm, higher or lower it is dimmer.

 

Dont know is it rectifier problem? Wirings? Or i just need to get new battery?

And how much does it cost to change a new rectifier or battery?

 

Appreciate any help. Thanks

Don't think it's a battery problem.

 

If battery problem won't be able to start when you press the ignition button to start.

 

More likely it's a wiring problem to your lights. The wire on and off got connect so signal and headlight blinks.

What bike are you riding btw? When you start the bike does it crank a lot before coming alive or press start once and it comes to alive?

But signal light is wont blink only when at a stop with my brakes engaged unless i rev a bit. When i nvr press brake it blinks, but kinda weaker(like slower) than its supposed to be. It blinks normally when riding.

I ride NSR 150RR. So far my 3rd day liao, still manage to start in 2 kicks in the morning when i first start. After that 1 kick can liao.

Could be a current leakage somewhere. Electrical problem for bike can be about hard to figure out. Might take hours haha. Rectifier and coil easy to check, start engine and use a volt meter to see what voltage you get.
