Basically have a problem with the batt charging on my bike.
It's a K5 Gixer 600 and only has 9000miles.
Last year i replaced the battery for a brand new one as i had a starting issue on my way to work one morning.
Now i also started to use my Oxford Maximiser Battery conditioner around every 3-4 days.
Basically if i take the bike out with a fully conditioned battery on the Monday and run it through the week doing 40 odd miles every day then come Wed it will be slow to start / turn over.
I did think that the Battery conditioner might be wrecking the Batt but i also use it on my car which has shown no signs of the same.
I have also had a test meter on the bike while running and it is showing it's charging but i'm guessing not enough.
Anyone any ideas where i should start looking for the problem?
Thanks,
GSXR Charging issue

Re: GSXR Charging issue
you could try testing your regulator/rectifier with you multi-meter

I have a PDF copy of a Fault Finding Flow Chart for bike charging systems but i don't know how to upload it on here, if you PM me your email address then i can send you a copy.
