Battery Problems
I've been having some problems with my ZXR over the last few days, (I've only had it 2 days!!) and there seems to be a problem with the battery, was wondering if any one can tell me what voltage should be running across the battery when the bike is running, and also if any one else has had quick drain problems with there ZXR?

this cold weather is enough to kill any battery thats not being charged regular.
Don't forget people there is more to the zxr400 than this forum... check out www.zxrworld.co.uk also.

you should see no more than 14.6 volts over the battery when charging i think with a very accurate volt meter (fluke).
With an uncalibrates one, i would imagine no higher than 14.8v, make sure and do the tests with the lights on too at around 4krpm.
Could be a duff regulator rectifier... Or just a totally shagged battery (which it could very well be).
