Hi All
I am new to bikes and to this site (first post) ,I bought a cb750 bobbed in June 79 frame hard tailed with a 82 750f motor .
it was setup for suicide clutch and shift , that went first ,reverted back to hand clutch and foot shift , i popped in a new battery and after a little bit of persuasion i got her running !!! yippy ...
After taking it out for a few rides I noticed that it was getting harder and harder to start the bike , battery was dead , so I ran out and got a charger.
Once charged it would start no problem ,but after a few rides I would have to hook it up to the charger again , ok so this is how it's going to be
Well, fall came around and I let her sit for a few months .. I go out to fire it up and surprisingly the battery was not dead ... well thats awesome but wtf ???
Why does my battery seem to hold a good charge but after riding it for a wile does it seem to die ?
The po told me when I got that the stator/charging system had just been replaced not to long ago ..Not that I had any idea what that was at the time or still even completely understand it ..
I want to figure it out wile I'm doing some work on it during the winter but have no idea where to start . I have no clue when it comes to electrical period .
Any and all advise would be greatly appreciated !!
thanks coolbreeze
