I just bought a 1988 Yamaha WR500G. It runs fine but, only till the battery runs down. When I recharge the battery it's ok again. Can someone help with my problem? Like, what part should I change?Thanks

Re: Won't stay charged
sounds like your charging coil needs changing -
Re: Won't stay charged
How old is the battery, sounds like the battery wont hold a charge. If you have cold winters, the battery only lasts about 2-3 years and thats if they were put on tenders in the winterComment

Re: Won't stay charged
Put a DVOM onto the battery, note the battery voltage... start it, does the voltage increase ?
If no voltage increase, charging system likely took a dump.
Find a NISSAN or Hyundai dealer, and see if you can talk a tech into doing a MIDTRONIC test on your battery for maybe a happy meal or a drink.
If your battery is a YB16-CLB, then the test amperage will be 195 Amp.***1100 Venture***<br />OE head mod-- by Riva Yamaha<br />Wiseco (+ .5mm)<br />True-welded crank<br />Riva F/A+ Jet kit<br />Boyeson Power reeds<br />Riva 1100 CDI<br />NGK plugs- BR8HS<br />R&D Aqua-Vein<br />Solas 14-21 Super Camber//Impros<br />Riva rideplate<br />Amsoil "AIO" @ 50:1 pre-mix, currently KLOTZ Ski-Craft<br />MOBIL-1 grease in the pump<br />Sears Diehard<br /><br /> Dream-meter shows 65---- GPS says 54.2 mph best, 9/14/02 @ 850 ft elevationComment
