by the tower the one up north ..
so 3 times last week i've had to bump start my bike .. (at my age it's not good :) ) it's been cold .. but i did ride it round for hr each time to charge it .. today i've had to put it on charge .. was down to 10v .. :(
do you think is knackered ? it's only just over a yr old .. £40 gets me a Motobatt MBTZ7S AGM Gel Motorcycle Battery ..
 
Get a voltmeter (£5 cheapo will do, unless you've one) check the voltage when the bike is running/charging the battery to determine if the alternator is ok. Even if the bike is 1 year old, you don't know how long that battery was sitting in the warehouse and in what conditions. If it keeps loosing charge quickly, its very likely the battery is bad or you've battery drain/bad earth somewhere or an accessory like an usb charging port that was fit incorrectly.
did the multi meter thing .. 14.4v when running .. 11.8 when not .. new battery will be here tom .. :) thx
