Battery Draining 94 vfr 70

Need some help, please.

I haven't had a chance to check electrical system, stilll trying to learn how to do so, but an issue I have noticed is that my battery which is new and does hold a good charge drains when I turn on the ignition; it drains instantly from the high twelves down to the elevens, tens, nines; I haven't let it drain more than that. I recharge it and it holds a charge.

What could be the problem, a bad battery even though it is new and does hold a charge when it is not in the bike with the ignition on?

Or is it an electrical issue. When I try to starting the bike all I get is a continuos clicking sound from the starter relay .

Any responses/suggestions would be appreciated.

THANKS

 

It appears that the battery is toasted. It's holding a surface charge, but unable to provide the power to run the starter.
It is normal for the voltage reading to drop to near 10V when the starter is engaged, but you're not even getting that far. It wouldn't hurt to check the relay and starter connections to make they are good and clean.

 

Take your battery to PEP boys and have them test it. Is it a new battery? How old is it? Gel battery?

Take the battery out and test it under load...Pepboys can check it out for you for free.

INext is to Check all the connections to your rectifier and see if the wires are brittle or fried /melted.
Buy some dielectric grease and co over your connectors.

If you have an old rectifier, replace it with an upgraded one. I can go over the procedure to test the rectifier but see what the battery holds first.

Your battery may have just crapped out especially if its a cheap one.

Hope this helps

 

Thanks for the advice. I've disconnected all electrical connections and cleaned; they look good for a 94, not perfect but no frying.

The battery is a Yuasa and it is only a month or two old but will take to check if it is good or not.

Will update later and thanks again!

 

check the rotor !!
