Hi all, it's my 1st post here
I was riding my newly aquired 01 FZ1 for about a week without any trouble. But then yesterday I was going to my buddy's house. I parked on the sidewalk and turned off the engine to make a phone call for direction. Then when I tried to start the bike (5 min stop max), it tried to crank and then I got the click from the solenoid. Everything was reset Eventually, I jumped it and got home no problem.
When I got the bike a week ago it had the same problem too. And I needed to jump it. However,the PO said it never happen before:banghead:
So, today after work, I use my multimeter to get the following readings from the batt. post. (Low beam, grip heat is off)
Ignition off - 12.31V
Ignition on - 11.66V
At the moment I pressed the starter - ~9V
Idle (1000RPM) - 11.9V
@ 4500RPM - 13.3V
From what I understand the battery is a batteriesplus the was made in 12/21/2009. I looked under the tank and the white connector looks great without any sign of trouble (I didn't disconnect to look however).
I'm wondering if I should just get a new batt and hope for the best or just replace the connector?
