Battery tester shows 12.8 at rest. I start it, rev it up and battery tester goes up to 14.7, which I believe means it charges when it revs up. I disconnected battery cables and testing for ohms. No readings, which I believe means no leakage.
This has happened before. The last time, I rode it about 15 miles but it sat for about 8 hours and didn't start.
In spite of the voltage meter readings (which suggest the battery is fully charged), is this still a battery issue?
I also have a Ninja 500. I keep both on a drip charger throughout the year. I have never had any starting issues with the 500. I have replaced the 600 battery twice and the 500 zero times. I am wondering in addition to the starting issues, if there is some reason why I am only having problems with the 600
