Hi! I’m new here. I’ve been reading through so many threads and a little overwhelmed. I have a 2006 Honda rebel 250, I’ve had it for 5 years and it rode great when I first got it. I got pregnant and the bike sat for 1 season. Then I had it tuned up and only rode it a couple of times last season. I have replaced the battery once last year and I put it on a tender over the winter. I fired it up this season and battery was dead (they tested it at the auto store). I got a new one, bike started no problem for a week. I didn’t ride it for 2 days and now the bike will not start without being charged. If I charge it and turn it off, it will not start after 30 minutes. I just got my volt meter in the mail today. I tested the battery it’s at 9 volts (after sitting 2 days since I last charged it). My neighbor says it may be the alternator, or could I have gotten a faulty battery?? I’d like to try and figure this out myself since my service department is completely booked. I’ll take any suggestions and a pdf of a service manual if available 😁
