| The Flying Jaffa Cake has destroyed another battery - despite being on an Optimate. Any ideas, oh wise ones? No Craig, buying a BMW is not an option. I never had this problem with any of my Suzukis!  | |

| The dealer (B'mth Kawasaki) were less than helpful the first time, I haven't tried again. A new battery is on it's way. When it arrives I will be seeking help to fit it. Also will be getting the electrics checked over this time. A battery a year is getting a tad expensive. | |

| I bet it is expensive, it's a bit odd though especially as you have it on an optimate. | |

| Hi Mandella, It might be worth getting the Regulator/Rectifier checked, like Patch, if you need any help just call. Regards John.  | |

| Hi John I was thinking it could be the regulator/rectifier and was going to test that and a couple things before I put the new battery on bike. But if I need any advice can I give you a call. Patch | |

| Something shorting out to earth?
Clearly a fault, my KLV is on it's original battery, and that is an Orange Kawasaki as well. | |
