Motorcycle Repair: Cbr 600 F3 Electric Problem, bill silver, battery problem


Question
I have a cbr 600 f3 1995. My battery drains often. One time I charged the battery over night, the bike started well. But after shut off and start several times, I can not start the bike. I jumped start it then ride for an hour, it can start again. By the time we headed home, I ride for more than an hour, but during the ride, the bike start to choke if I accelerate hard, when i get off the highway, it just died and there is no juice in the battery. Is it battery problem or the "charger". Thanks.

Answer
Gary, it sounds like your charging system is dead/dying. If the battery is capable of holding a full charge and losing it during a ride, the it isn't getting charged properly.
