What does this mean?

This afternoon leaving work after my bike was stood all night the battery was flat and I had to bump it.

I do have heated grips fitted but they were off with the control box out of sight in the fairing so this isn't a deliberate action aimed at making my life difficult.

It was fine last night I do recall the clock and trip meter resetting about a week ago if that is a sign of a low battery voltage. I don't have a multimeter before you say it.

Crawling up the M62 for an hour on the way home home it was OK I know a foul battery will be ok to start a bike straight back up if it isn't left too long after a bump.

I have extracted it from my bike with with a butter knife and a rusty old screw driver it is charging now I don't know what the lights mean? I don't need to use the bike tonight so will probably put it back in first light.

Here is the battery I don't know how old it is was already in the bike when I bought it.

Dont have an Oximiser but found this

will guess the solitary green led is power on
and the unlit one means reversed connections?

as you have all 4 leds lit I'll guess its saying the battery is charged and its maintaining it on a float charge.


As for the overall condition of the battery and why it went lfat
thats another issue
As its a 6AH I'm guessing the bike is something like a 125 or sub 250?
Whatever the bike its always wise to check the charging ciircuit and cableing/connectors from time to time, saves a lot of pushing

Get a new battery and don't fuck around. Do we really need to know you use a butter knife?

I can only make guesses as to why it went flat

Battery getting old and losing its ability to store charge
Parasitic drain or say an alarm systen drain when bike turned off
Battery not getting charged properly when in use
stator, rectifier/regulator, cabling or connector faults.
Or, a combination of the above.

You'd need a meter and do some sytematic testing to help you
pin down the fault

Can you not just use your R6?

Just use the R6 mate

[CaNsA]

Has anyone seen the R6?

[Northern Monkey]

An R6 might use a different battery to most bikes.

Is this green light from charging an r6 battery?

I bet you wouldn't have this many problems with your R6.

Have you thought about having a sprocket welded to the battery? It might help

Didn't you have to throat punch eleventeen of your workmates to stop them dicking around with your Daewoo?

Get a multimeter.

Use it to check the battery on your R6, it'll be flat from not having been ridden for so long.

I heard Daelim do very reliable motorcycles, have you considered one of them? If not just use your R6 I suppose
