The battery in the bike was dead and I jump started it off a car.When it started it would die under three thousand rpm ,i had to keep twisting the throttle to keep running.I went for a ride anyway.the bike died and I boosted it a couple times and got back home.Got new battery.the bike tries to idle now but still will die.kept riding, then my gauges went out,but went for cruise anyway.the bike died, I have no spark, and I found my fuse (linked to signal lights)Blown.I have power to the coils but no spark.
Sounds as if you have an issue with the charging system, try using a volt meter to determine if the bike is charging. To do so you will need to access the battery under the seat, with the bike running hook up the volt meter to the battery terminals, at idle you should have around 11volts when reving you should have around 13volts. If not you may have a bad stator or other electrical issues. good luck
I agree with John Cox I am having similar problems with my 81 GSX 400f after it has been sitting in the shed for a yr.I fitted a new battery but no charging. think it's my rectifier/ voltage regulator but am not sure how to check if rectifier is faulty with my multimeter?
