I have a Yamaha FZR600R and a month ago fitted little neon lights. No problems there. Recently had heated grips fitted too. It went fine for 20 miles or so, then cut out on the motorway. No warning, no spluttering, just zero engine power. I pulled onto the hard shoulder and tried restarting the engine. The starter motor was very perky and the lights were on full beam i.e the battery was not flat - it just wouldn't start as if I had no petrol (full tank before you ask).

I called the RAC and the guy tested the battery. With the lights and hotgrips on there was only 12.7V at the battery which is one whole volt less than it needs. He jump-started it and it went fine (hot grips unplugged). Straightforward, right? Just too much of a draw and the bike runs at a loss?

No! This is the bit I don't understand: it wasn't just too much of a draw because this would have run my battery down but my battery wasn't run down at all - there was still loads of life left. Why is this and what can I do?

If you were in this situation what would you choose for a rookie rider.....a 2006 Suzuki s40 (145 mi) cruiser - 650 cc/ 350 lbs Single Cylinder, Carburetor, No ABS Top speed 80-100 mph with some vibration and no warranty Or.....
A 250cc/375 lbs Vento Motorcycle (v thunder)V Twin - with Fuel Injection, ABS, and all the accessories you would need for a bike. Top Speed 80-85 MPH with modifications available for faster speeds. With a one year warranty.
Both of them are the same price 3500.....I just dont know which really has the advantage....Help!

I'm interested in building a frame for a motorcycle sidecar for a custom bike project. Looking for plans, how-to's rather than a manufactured unit.
