Dead Battery

fairweatherrider · 07-24-2015, 09:54 PM

Went for a ride yesterday, about 30 miles, then as I headed home about a block away from home, my bike just cut out, stalled, and I had a dead battery. Pushed it home, oh boy. Had the battery checked after charging it and it was okay. I reinstalled it, and started it, but as I gave it some throttle shouldn't the needle on my gauge go up? It didn't. Could I have a bad generator. How can I check it and how difficult is it to change if it is bad? What else could it be? I appreciate any help.
