Battery not charging

(1/2) > >>

stubobaloo:
This is a simple one for all you highly tuned mechanical types.. but first off I have something to own up to.

I made the mistake of thinking because my bike was built in 1976, that made it a K6. Apparently, according to some sharp-eyed fella on Ebay it's a CB750F.

Anyhow, the battery ain't retaining a charge.... any clues ?

Thanks for any assistance, much appreciated

Normal none charging problem is bad connections.
