Hey everyone.
So, I've got *even more* problems with my arsehole of a motorcycle. A couple of months ago, I had some issues with my battery. It would always be dead whenever I went out to it, but I could bump start it, and after turning it off, it would still have enough charge in it to start after, say, an hour or two. Went to a mechanic and they said it needed a new battery, so, new battery in, no problem. *Now*, after only two months or so, the battery is dead, I can bump start it if I'm going down hill, and the battery will hold no charge; as in, went for a one hour ride, got stopped by the police because they didn't see both of my L plates; two minutes later, no charge, wasn't even clicking over. I know it's been heavily raining, lots of wind and it's very cold over here, I'm not sure if that has something to do with it. The bike is kept outside, so it's exposed to all the elements. What might be wrong with it *now*? I don't much fancy forking out more money for another sodding battery, at least not this soon.
EDIT: Oh yeah, it might help to note that my lights and indicators still work, even when the bike won't ignite and won't even turn over. Don't know if this helps with diagnostics, but, hey! And sorry I keep begging for help with my motorcycle, I hate to leech off of everybody's expertise, but I don't know what else to do... well, except take it to a mechanic, which I'll ultimately do if I have too.
