[QUOTE="pdee4t, post: 157401, member: 1594"] hi guys. this isn't regarding my bike, my bike is fine however ive been riding with a mate and during our last ride, his battery went flat and suddenly couldn't crank the bike over. his bike also has no kick starter and where we were was a little hard to roll start it...got it started eventually though. im not sure if its his battery or the way his lighting is wired but he uses a light switch on the bars, when the switch is in the 'off' position, the lights are off but when the switch is in the 'on' position, even if the bike is off or isn't running/idling, the lights stay on until he turns the lights off via the switch. i know on my bike, i can have the light switch in the 'on' position but they won't actually turn on until the bike has been started/is running, then turn straight back off again when bike shuts off. anyway, he went riding today and told me that his lights were always left off and the bike hadn't been started for a few days but when he went to unload the bike, the bike had a flat battery and wouldn't crank over again. i know the easy fix was for him to just not ride with his lights on but even though his lights weren't on, the battery still drained. so im just wondering, what does it sound like the problem is? i say it's battery related or a bit of both.
