Hi.
My battery does not keep It's charge and I have to use the kickstart every morning and if I leave the bike for more than 10 minutes after a ride. If I ride it I can electric start for like 10 minutes but after that there is not enough power inthe battery to cranck the engine.
The battery is 6ah and its about a year old. I tried to charge it and its started fine but after that is the same thing again. Should I get a new battery or is there any other thing I should consider in before I buy a new one?

It seems as if your battery will not hold a charge. A new battery is in your future. Enjoy Your Ride....

[replyingto=tvnacman]tvnacman[/replyingto]I add bottled water to my battery and sometimes I can get another 6 months to a year out of it. Just rember after adding water let it sit a day or over night then charge. do not over fill.
