My 2009 VV has me stranded from time to time. For example, I rode this past weekend about 60 miles, with 5 stops. Between the 4th and 5th stop, I was off the bike for about 15 minutes. When I tried to start it at the 5th stop, the battery was dead. I had to get a boost.

I have taken the battery to Advance, and they say it is good. This happens a few times in the last couple of months. I measured 12.7 VDC at the battery terminals with the bike idling, seems low.

I put it on a tender, and it still doesn't seem to help. Could the battery capacity be gone, or my regulator is not putting out enough voltage? I thought it should be about 14 VDC when idling....

with key on volt gauge should be 12.5 with bike running gauge should be 14.2
add 1/4" lock washers to each battery bolts. UnPull regulator plug and clean it and plug back in.
have you add any electrical stuff that can be drawing power when key is off
