1988 Yamaha FZR 750 short circuit

Hi,

My 1988 Yamaha FZR 750 battery is going dead, with the bike parked and off. I tested the battery voltage, and when the positive lead is connected it shows about 4 volts less than the battery alone. I assume this means there is a short?!

Disconnecting the hot wire to the alternator give the full battery reading. Is there something wrong with the alternator, or is this normal?

Any and all ideas welcome!

Hi my fzr 750 throws a plug dead every 700 km

Try and find some iridium plugs or other high performance plugs. Sounds like the plugs you are using just dont agree with the motor's performance output

The battery is dead but i charged it to 75% and it held the charge and then when i put it back and turn the key. it did not turn over and the lights did not turn on. what can i do!?

One or more cells are short circuited resulting a loss of voltage. The voltage is not enough for the bike to function properly. Only one solution: change battery.

Fan running all the time

This is an ignition problem, (probability of short circuit in the ignition head wiring). U may have to repair this.
