Hey guys,

So.... My bike is acting up again. What a surprise, NOT! This time its a power issue. It's a 78k

If the bike sits for more then 6 hrs, it drains the battery. I got a battery charger, and left it charging all night, it works then, but it slowly starts losing power and the headlight gets dim.

At night, I notice the headlight gets brighter when I rev the bike. The battery is a little over a year old.

My guess is the rectifier.  

Anyone else have this problem? Should I buy a new battery or is it something else?

Thanks in advance
