Having issues with the bike starting... Doesn't seem like its holding a charge well

[medicineman843]

For the last couple of days i've been haveing issues with the bike starting up in the morning. I put it on a trickel charger for the last couple of hours. Should i just put it on that charger every once in while? It will only try and crank a few times before it stops clicking. I'm not sure how old the battery is. Should i been looking at a high performance battery or some led turn signals something to take off some watts off the battery? Push starting is not worth it at all...

unk: Hey, buy a good Gel battery and be done with checking the water level in the battery. Good Luck, Spurs

There is an awesome charging/electrical fault finding flow chart posted here:

I used it to get rid of a parasitic loss while sitting as well as a charging issue. Turned out to be bad ground connections. Takes a little bit of time but you will learn a thing or two.
