Post Body

So I’m having some starting issues with my 2006 shadow aero 750. I will get intermittent starts but it mostly just will not start. Battery will show 13.12v after I leave it on a charger for a while, but it will drop to about 3v when cranking.

I also got this battery about 6 months ago and when I had batteries plus test it a month ago they told me that it charged all the way up to 12.74v and was good. I don’t buy it. 3v while cranking seems so low.

My headlight has also now seemed to short out. The socket has 11.9v until I put a bulb in and it immediately drops to 0v.

I’m at a loss. Electrical systems are super confusing to me.
