Here's the riddle I have for everyone...

Bike 91 CB 750.

Runs great, the other day, for the first time, I pushed the start button to be welcomed by only a "click."

OH S--T DEAD BATTERY...  But I'm wondering, I think I bought this battery about a year ago.  Is that long enough for the battery to die.  The battery in my beemer used to last my 2 or 3 years minimum.

I noticed that the head light gets a little brighter when I twist the throttle.  So I'm assuming that the alternator is ok...  Am I wrong in that assumption???

The biggest problem is i don't have a volt meter, so until I can get it to the shop I'll be parking on hills.....
