bike wont electric start and lights flash
hi my zennco super motard yb125 wont electric start, it just makes a clicking noise. and the indicators are sometimes really dim and sometimes really bright and when i put the lights on they flash aswell and alternate in brightness with the indicators. and my dashboard lights all flash aswell. any ideas would be good as i dont know where to start really.

+1 to that, but that also could be a bad connection to the battery. Clean the terminals and make sure the wires are connected well, instead of loosely touching the terminals.

the battery is new and was working fine until now. the connection at the battery is tight and clean? its charged and reads 13 on the multimeter

whats weird is that i parked my bike somewhere for half hour then went to move it and this was the problem so i got my tools and came back but it worked fine, electric started and everything. then the next day the problem was back.

Next time it fails try jumping it with a known good battery. You need to load test a battery as voltage can be right but still the battery could be bad. You could take the battery to a auto parts store like Autozone to have it tested.

ok is it possible to do that myself. i guess i could bring it to the garage i bought it off and il ask them to check it. its just its worked fine untill now. i think the battery was a slightly lower power than the original but the guy said that for some reason chinese bikes have such powerful batteries put in them and the battery i got of him he said youd normally find in a 400cc
