[QUOTE="MrUnlucky, post: 198025, member: 4550"] I saw some sad folks in the parking lot last week and tried to charge their battery for them. After about 20 minutes or so, it clearly wasn't taking a charge and I told them they'd probably need a new battery. Last night I started up and made a grocery store run with no apparent issue (that I noticed). This morning, she barely started and I assumed it was because of the freeze last night. Once she started, though, the voltage gauge never got above 11v all the way to work, though the bike ran fine. When I stopped at a gas station, I had to push start because the starter motor didn't even try to move. At the end of the day, though, I got a co-worker to help me experiment. We hooked the jumper cables up and let him charge my battery for about five minutes and then unhooked the cables and started it to see whether the battery was holding a charge or the stator was failing to charge the battery. The voltage gauge showed the proper 12v while he was charging it, but dropped to 10.5v once she started. This makes me think it's the stator and I'm wondering if trying to jump start a car was an extremely stupid idea. [/QUOTE]
