Bike wont start
The last few weeks the battery has hardly had the power to turn the engine over fast enough to start it.
I assumed (probably wrongly) that the battery was past it's best so I bought a new one, followed the instructions regarding filling with the dilute acid and put on a slow 12 hour charge.
Using the multimeter I just bought the old battery was putting out the same volts as the new battery so not surprisingly the new charged battery wont start the bike either, it seems fully charged but can hardly manbage to turn the engine over.
It used to start straight away.
Lights are not on and I don't have anything on permanently like an alarm that could drain the power.
Any suggestions?
