Battery

(1/4) > >>

Morning All,
Have a new yuasa battery, full up and charged, question is bike is kept on optimate all the time not being used and is all green light good, if I take the bike out for a short run then olug it back in it takes hours to go back to green and fully charged, I've not had this slow process back to charged ever on a bike so is the battery no good? have I a loose connection anywhere?
anybody have any views on this please?
Regards to all

hairygit:
You need at least half an hour, sometimes longer running just to replace the power consumed by the starter motor! Try doing the same run but using only the kickstart, you'll notice the difference! Or better still, don't do short trips on it, short journeys cause far more wear/stress on an engine than hours of motorway speeds, plus short runs do not allow the engine to warm up thoroughly, which causes condensation, which rots your exhausts from the inside out, and leaves moisture in the engine oil, with obviously dire results long term.

Thank you for the reply, well noted! :D

UK Pete:
Hairygit is spot on there

I find I need to travel for at least half hour before finding a half decent road.
Totally agree with long runs you also need the revs nice and high to charge the battery.
