My bike is still under construction, and my buddy loaned me his cbr 600 to ride. Well, it died on me today. I smelled battery acid. I pulled the seat off and the battery was really hot. It would not start. Got a jump start and just made it home. It is a bran new battery. I was thinking it was over charging. so I but my charger on the battery that has an alt. tester and volt meter. at an idle it varies around 11.6 to 12.6 and when I reved it up a litlle around 4,000 in was around 14 but at higher rpms above 6000 it is like 16 volts. So regulator is bad? Shouldn't it stay around 14? I figured one of you guys would know.
