[QUOTE="justin1982z28, post: 8923, member: 1087"] I am not an electrical or CT70 expert, so hopefully someone else will post here too, but I would try connecting a voltmeter to the battery (+ to +, - to -) and noting the battery voltage with the bike turned off. Then start the bike up. If the voltage remains the same or drops, the battery is not being charged. If the voltage increases significantly as the rpm of the engine increases, your charging system is working. If the charging system is working correctly, I would look for a problem with the bike that is causing it to draw down the battery while it is stored. If the charging system isn't working, you then need to determine where the problem is. If this is bad advice or someone else has a better idea, please correct me. [/QUOTE]
