Could be a loose connection somewhere too.   Logged     FREE SPIRIT 2007 Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access. #97996 silver_fox (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 204 Re:i am bumfuzzled 5 Months ago   Sounds like it might be a loose connection. Check the Battery terminals and see if their tight and clean.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #97997 Flashback (Moderator) The devil to pay, and no pitch hot Moderator Posts: 4385 Re:i am bumfuzzled 5 Months ago   if a lot of different electrical components are acting strange at the same time, it probably is a loose or dirty ground connection on the battery, Have you done any work on the bike recently? By the way, I like that word "bumfuzzled" I have expanded my vocabulary...   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/07/04 15:31 By Flashback.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #98059 thumpertattoo (User) Thumpertattoo Junior Boarder Posts: 133 Re:i am bumfuzzled 5 Months ago   ok sorry i took so long just got done with the fireworks for the kids burnt the schnittzel out of my thumb lol anyways chaecked the connections they are clean and tight so i thought hey i will hook a charger to it and see what happens would you believe she was dead as a doornail i am bumfuzzeled i would have thought i woudl have noticed some loss of power dimming of lights or something the attery is just a ew months old it is a agm mat battery anybody got any ideas what could be going on?   Logged     Thumpertattoo   The administrator has disabled public write access. #98064 Greysnake (User) BB sold all the beer and bought a stratoliner.

Whoops saw you had posted few months old.   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/07/04 22:53 By Greysnake.   06 Midnight Silverado *nothing shines like a star*   The administrator has disabled public write access. #98066 RoadstarB (User) Take off work and RIDE, You can work anytime. Gold Boarder Posts: 685 Re:i am bumfuzzled 5 Months ago   sometimes you get ahold of a bad battery, or you may have something draining it, it's hard to say. If you replace the battery again and it happens again then something is definetly wrong somewhere else....may want to check the output of your charging system....   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/07/04 22:50 By RoadstarB.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #98067 Greysnake (User) BB sold all the beer and bought a stratoliner. Platinum Boarder Posts: 2922 Re:i am bumfuzzled 5 Months ago   I know it doesn't draw much but remember you have a clock on there that runs continueously wether the key is on or not. And like RoadstarB said sometimes you can get a bad one.   Logged     06 Midnight Silverado *nothing shines like a star*   The administrator has disabled public write access. #98068 thumpertattoo (User) Thumpertattoo Junior Boarder Posts: 133 Re:i am bumfuzzled 5 Months ago   how do i check that?   Logged     Thumpertattoo   The administrator has disabled public write access. #98073 RSCstar1602 (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 136 Re:i am bumfuzzled 5 Months ago   I just had my battery go bad but it was 7 years old Its acted just as you described with the gage needles moving when Im turned the key back off, no fuses blown no spark at the battery terminals. Push started the bike to get home. OK, the battery, when I hooked the charger up the meter did not show any current flow, No charge current on the charger meter. So the battery would not take a charge and when I put a voltmeter (or test light) across the battery and turn the key on, the battery voltage dropped to nothing, my battery was shot. If your battery will recharge and can then start the bike it may be OK and your charging system may be at fault   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
