my battery is not recharging itself when the bike is running. whats the diagnosis Doc? do i need a new alt?????

 

yea new altenator

 

Did you try changing your brake fluid?

 

Can you push start it? Does it run? Are your connections good?


If all these are true you just might have a bad battery...

 

Sounds like a bad stator, but for your bike, I'd just replace the whole generator.

 

Bad battery most likely. Did you have a trickle charger on it over winter?

 

Suzuki huh??

Just buy a whole new bike... lol..

Best bet.. Start with the battery.. Take it to murrays or some **** and they will test it for free to tell you if its good or bad.. If its good buy a trickle charger, and let that thing charge and then take your bike somewhere to be looked at.. If its bad.. Try a new battery..

 

if ya got a multimeter u can check recifier and stator in about 5 mins to make sure its putting out the right voltage (50-60v i believe @ stator)

 

Now you are gettin way to teknikal...

 

Will the bike start, and if so does it stay running? If that is the case I would just go buy a new battery....

 

bike starts, but dies while running. then...i would have to recharge it from it can start again.

 

alternator...and those *****es arent cheap

check ebay for a used one might only spend like 200 or 300

i think factory is like 600
i know my roomates was 5 somthin

 

ok mister i have a brand new bike and it wont run...hmmmmm
yamaha huh??? buy a new bike

 

I heard that actually does work

 

it is a bad chargin system then....so do what Slothy said and narrow it down.

 

Hahaha.. Blow me..

And get it right.. Its a Honda...

 

Nevermind.

 

samething

 

Just don't buy a Honda. The 4 D cell batteries that they run on wear out pretty quickly!
