Ok I’ll try to keep this as short as possible.
So this past November I put the bike away with no problems and now it’s February with better weather and I wanted to ride. The battery was naturally dead so I just decided to buy a new one but this time a bought Lithium Ion battery for the weight. I install the battery and fire it up, no problem. Now riding, the battery light comes on.
So back at home, I check and the connections are fine but the 30 amp fuse behind the battery under the seat was blown. Put a new one in it and the light it still on. The battery light flickers at idle and is solid at higher rpm while riding.
Now not to sound dumb, but I’m sure it’s not the battery even thought there was nothing wrong before. It sounds like an alternator not charging coincidentally.
Has anyone experienced this? how difficult is it to change the alternato?
Now to check I know I need a multi meter but I don’t have one right now so I get one.
If anyone could help me out that would be great.
Thank you!
