I had a similar problem on a bike once..battery showed fully charged on bike etc but didn't have enough amps to turn the bike over.
Id try and get hold of the original suppliers and swop it..
New battery for me.
I had this on a ccm r30 with a 710 kit on it. A 1300 HYABUSA battery was a direct swop. Same physical size but more oomph due to the size of engine etc

Yup, sounds like that battery is bad even though it's only a year old. If it ever had gotten drained dead and stayed for a couple days it would kill a good battery. Some batteries just don't hold up. Yuasa is my favorite for quality.

Just looking at purchase date of battery and its 16 months old. Still , wouldve expected it to last longer than that. Other than swapping it out i dont suppose theres any way testing it?
Cheers for the replies also

tbh id be happy with 16 months.. esp considering what it has to do on a big single..
I got my last battery from Halfords.. they will price match anywhere local,at least mine in Derby did.
I wouldn't go ebay route.
Just checked ebay for prices...YUASA FOR £17 DELIVERED!!!!...Hmmm maybe I would go ebay route after all

I know of a battery that was shot in 2 weeks. It was left in a quad that had drained it down and it sat there for almost a week. The battery never charged after that.
