Battery flat, not charging!

[YuaN_]

yes.. thats my bike.. rvf =p

 

 

the volt meter when connected and throttle... the voltage still below 12V... when i throttle it, its like moving from 10+V to 11+V....

[shiraz]

if the voltage is rising, then it should be ok what... take the batt out and charge it.. 12.8V... then put it back in.. the bike would start. ride around ur area, go to the expressway, hit 100kmh then come back to the carpark and test the voltage again.

 

turn the throttle, the voltage should go up.. if now after going for a ride and the voltage dosen't increase, it means most likely, there is a loose connection somewhere. (the vibration and wind cause it to come loose)

 

fixing this electrical probs ourselves usually means alot of trial and error la..if this cannot try that, that also cannot then try something else.

 

so now, try taking the batt out and charge it..

His voltage isn't rising.....

 

Rather than try to work out whats wrong, bring your bike to a trusted mech to have them sort it out.

 

At least you know your battery is not charging. You've changed your batt and rectifier so it either a loose connection(which i doubt) or a mag coil gone kaput.

 

If you really want to be sure before going to your mech, test the voltage of the wires from your batt all the way to the magnetic coil connections.

but he said when he throttle, the voltage goes from 10+ to 11+ mah...

 

or maybe should check... is it rising smoothly or sort of flickering as in jumping up and down not consistently?

Aiyo... just follow the instructions in the link provided in my earlier post. The problem will be identified easily.

Bolts & Nuts ( hardware stuff ) can anyhow gasakbuta ...... but hor electrical system ............... better dun anyhow gasabuta .......... poke here poke there ............. cannot means cannot ... laaaaaaaaaa pls go to a LBS laaaa

Very detailed instructions indeed. Kudos.

im going to combine bike shop to get my bike checked and get my coil changed if it caused the problem...... workmanship for coil is 40 + bike checkup 20

coil is a funny thing..

when it is abt to spoilt, it will charge the batt when the bike isn't very hot..

when the bike is hot, the charging will cease and stop..

now the bike totally no power to blow the rpm up le... need tow to shop... sianzZz =p, need to go bike checkup when im free...

[YuaN_]

finally my bike in working condition =p

 

not coil... but its my retifier shortcuited =p and high rpm with high current made it unable to charge...

luckily you never change your coil... everyone in the whole thread asking you to change your coil!!!

hahaha...

so guys.. go shop check better... haha, i learned quite alot from the mech

hmm but then initially u said u changed the regulator but no effect right.

[pyro13]

could be a relay..wen u press..is ter a tick sound.. wen cannot start..try knocking ur batt..

ya..

i saw that too..

u fry a new rect so soon??

[YuaN_]

no la... i tried it without charging the battery and also without proper tools to join the wires...
