Im having battery issues..
I have pretty much a brand new battery.
When i leave the bike standing for say 3 days or so and then come to start the bike, it wont have any of it!
I then recharge the battery and she fires up fine!
Leave her again for 3 days or so and i have the same problem again!
So some how the battery is losing its charge when standing, but i have no idea why?!
Any ideas people?!?
Thanks!!

Reg/Rec / Altenator failure.

The most common and well known problem with VFR's.

Do a search for Reg/Rec, Regulator and Altenator and you'll find hundreds of posts on the forum.

Like Neo suggested if the alts not charging the batteries gona go flat, but if manually charged its losing it within 3 days it could be a short to the frame.. Check the battery connections,ignition connections, also the coil connections or basicly anywhere where a live can contact the frame
