  • Well it always takes me forever until I get the time to work on it. I think I just measured all of the things you mentioned. Nothing beeped. Again, the battery is draining by the minute. Again I checked the main fuse and it’s fine. I’m measuring all kinds of things and don’t really know what I’m supposed to do with it. I measured the beeps with the battery connected and it beeped with basically every metal part. I measured resistance with the battery connected and got about 7 ohm between the battery and the metal parts. The DVM manual says it should be between 0-1 ohm. I don’t know anymore. I think I will message the mechanic who repairs the alternator. But it’s been really long now



  • Well. Something is definitely wrong. I think the Li-ion battery is fried, it’s losing charge immediately after unplugged from the charger. It powers the bike enough to try to start it, but then falls off to under 10V. The gel battery doesn’t even get there, it’s losing charge apparently immediately when I press the starter.

    There’s no leakage, as far as I can measure. About the grounds, I still don’t know. But it seems like that could be the issue. I don’t know if I can do that whole measuring on my own though. Maybe I need a mechanic to pick up my bike and pay for that. I just don’t have the equipment or space to take my bike apart, check the spark plugs or anything. Do you maybe have a good tutorial for dummies like me on how to check the grounds?
