I have an '06 bout 6 weeks old and my battery went dead. all stock and I leave the key out of it. ride it a few times each week for about half an hour or so. If someone wouldnt mind taking some readings for me I would appreciate it.
On my machine I got 12.5 vdc with the motor running, when I turn on the headlights it drops to 11.9 vdc. In my opinion both voltages are too low to recharge...in a car the voltage should be around 13.8 with the motor running.
Can someone take some voltage readings for me please. the Grizzly .pdf file I downloaded covers troubleshooting the battery but uses an involved open circuit test using an ameter, I just wanna know if the **** altenator is charging properly.
I remember someone else with a new Grizz saying something about his batt going dead too.
Thanks!
