    I have been using the bike all week because the car's off the road, wont start....Anyway, On Monday morning the low battery warning came on but went off after a minute or so, Tonight when I started it at work to come home the warning came back on, again for a few seconds, It's been on a trickle charge all winter, with the odd start up, anyone any idea's :cry:

    Mine died on the ride over to my mums from work.It had started fine the Saturday morning .
    I was in the summer and had not been on a charger.
    As it was still under warranty Ling of Ipswich got a new reg under warranty
    Get your volt meter out and do some checks
