Ive been haveing trouble with the F3 dying after if warms up, the guages start jumping around and then everything dies.
So I put multimeter to the battery and found that the bike starts on the new, charged battery just fine, and the voltage across the terminals is 13.4 volts as the bike warms up (12.8 volts with the bike off).
After a few minutes tho, the voltage drops to 12.8 and then slowly drops to 12.7..... .6......... 12.5........... .4 .3 and so on.
Till the bike dies.
So im guessing that the charging system dies out as the bike warms up. What could this be? How should I go about testing? I have the fault finding chart that was posted a while back, and ill be trying that tomorrow,, but would be nice to know if you all know what to look for.
Thanks.
