Battery / Charging Warning
The charging system isn't topping up the battery — you're running on borrowed time.
What it means
This means the alternator or stator isn't charging the battery correctly, so everything electrical is now running on stored battery charge alone.
What to do
You can typically keep riding for a while on battery power alone, but minimise electrical load, such as heated grips or extra lights, and head towards home or a garage before the battery runs down and the bike stalls.
Likely causes
- •A failing stator or alternator
- •A faulty regulator/rectifier
- •A loose or corroded battery terminal
- •A worn or slipping drive to the charging system
Heads up: Exact symbols and behaviour vary by make and model — always check your owner's handbook, and speak to a qualified mechanic if you're unsure.
