Good day friends,
I have an issue I want to run by you.
I have a 05' fz6, that I bought 18 months ago. Since then I haven't had any issues with it. It always starts, and the previous owner also confirms he never had any problems. Even after 6 months of storage it started on the first crank.
Now, since July i have experienced that the battery has been totally discharged, twice. After the first time i freaked out (and luckily my In-laws could pick me up with a trailer) and just replaced the battery. I guess the old battery had been in the bike at least 6 years.
Now I have a new, high end battery that was just installed, but this morning the bike was totally discharged again.
I have not been riding short trips, but the bike has been unused for a few days. I don't have any equipment that consumes power other than standard alarm.
Any idea what this might be? I'm thinking a faulty alternator.
Thanks for any help!
