    No idea then, alarms would do that but if you'd just ridden 80m you'd expect the battery to be fine, only other thing is the battery is not charging.

    Charge it back up with a smart-charger, check the voltage across the battery with the bike running to see if it is charging ok? Should be 14.6volts +/-

    Battery could be on it's way out, corroded/loose battery terminals, alternator or rectifier.

    Your battery is either not holding a charge or not getting one at all.
    Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.

    battery is 5 months old.......the stator and reg/rec was replaced last year due to the stator blowing up.

    :-/
