Electrical problem

on batteries...

I'm sure there's a smart-arsed comment in there, about Italian
electrics not functioning long enough to drain a battery, but I
wouldn't make it.

Oh no.

Not me.

 

bad earth, loose battery terminal, corroded wire etc etc

first saw this on a 750 round case duke 10 yrs or so ago...bike was ok
till you tried to leccy start or turned headlight on, then everything
would die
leave a few minutes...all ok
turned out to be the earth strap from battery to frame. looked ok but
was quite corroded
it was not diagnosed until 'one last go' when the shed lights were
out...and spark tracers ran up & down the wire
replace wire, all good
