I have been having problems starting my K12. After spending a lot of cash replacing 2 radiators I was told my battery was dead also. It was fine for the first couple of days then after a break for about 4 days I went to go for a ride and low and behold - flat battery. I put it down to possibly leaving the parking light on with the key in the wrong position, but after jump starting it and a ride of 3 hours I found that it still wouldn't start from the button. I took the battery back to the garage and they tested it put it on charge and said after 2 days it was slowly discharging at 10.54 volts. I was under the impression that a new battery ought to be pushing out 12v? Anyway I've been reading other posts and some issues over starter relays I may now have a further problem when I put the (second eventually replaced by the garage) new battery on today, or whether something on my bike may have caused damage to the battery and if that's the case I will probably be in the same position in a week or so.
I can do mechanics ok, but the electrics/ electronics and I am not certain when or how to read volts/ amps etc and what it means.
Any advice for battery voltage? Any for possible starter relay damage?
