So I've read the threads about bikes dying and batteries not charging. What about both?
I can't get my battery to charge. It'll jump fine and sit at around 3V after jumping and turning the bike off. I'm showing good voltage while running. I don't think there's a drain (new to the multimeter and the thing jumps a bit when I look at it too quickly).
When I do get the bike running, it runs fine. However, when I hit the brakes, it dies. Quickly and completely. No clock even. I think it's only when I hit the rear brake though since I was using the front with no problem.
Here's my problem. I am not the person to be messing with anything involving current. I make a great test light. Could this be as simple as a short along wiring from the rear brake to the brake lights? If so, would it be better to fix or replace? If replace, is it involved?
