    1980 GS550 electic ignition/RR/ Stator or Battery

    Hi Guys,

    Going to do the quick test to start. Just got a new battery because my old one was toast- Below 3 volts/wont charge. Below is a link to the issue I am having.

    Without active charge, bike would not rev up at all, just idle. With assist from car, bike revs right up. My brother is saying that this is caused by electric ignition. Has anyone else had the same problem? Thank you in advance for all of your help guys. This forum is awesome.

    What are your Quick Test Values on the motorcycle battery and then with the car battery attached (two sets of 6 numbers)? Do not start the car.
