Hi All.
i have a 89 FZR1000 that i was doing the valve clearances on
And thought i would see if it would start before putting everything back on.
and i put the battery on charge ,it shows 13.5 volts across the terminals.
but absolutely nothing when i turn the key.
no lights not even a glimmer.
checked the fusses all good there.

so jumped from the car and bingo.
started right up.

but when i check across the battery terminals at idle
it shows 16 volt .
this is on the bad battery, still waiting on the new one.

is it charging to much because the battery if banned word
or does this point to a regulator issue.

obviously electrix are not my forte.
any help is appreciated.

My KZ1100 did exactly that late last year. Showed good voltage when not under load. They need a load test, not just a simple voltage test, but likely it's time for a new battery.
