3aj charging problems
Hi All, Im back again with an electrical problem now! I think my 3aj may not be charging, Now im no autolectrician,but i have bought a multimeter and have done the following checks: With the bike idling i have 13.2 volts at the battery terminals, with the battery disconnected and the bike still idling and with the lights off i have 01.0 volts at the terminals, with lights on its 11.0 volts. does this make any sense? what else should i be poking my multimeter at? and what should it read when i do? The reason i think its not charging is, when i rev it the lights actually dim down rather than brighten up! also when i take it for a spin (20miles say) and it has been stopped long enough to cool down, it will not start ie battery is flat. I always keep the battery on charge with an optimate trickle charger when the bikes not in use. I know virtually nothing about electrics so go easy on me!!! Thanks in advance for any help. T
