charging battery

Charge the battery to full....put it in the bike,,,take a multimeter set to DC volts and hold the probes to the battery leads,,,crank over the engine and see how low the voltage drops while introducing the starting amperage load than after see how much voltage it returns back to after inducing the load.....If the voltage drops under 10,4 volts under load and doesnt return back to almost full voltage the battery is shot and must be replaced to not damage the starter and charging system......

You can also have the battery tested at any Walmart auto center for free...Good Luck...
