1980 CB750 DOHC
rode out to get some items last night and parked in the garage and shutdown about 10pm (key off, switch off, petcock off)
6am this morning i go to start up, nothing. No indicator lights, no power at all.
threw tender on it and i get blinking red light (indicating not charging battery)
red flashing means the microprocessor is getting AC power but it is not supplied to the battery either because of a weak connection or voltage too low on the battery.
i brushed my terminals and redid the connections but still flashing red.
the battery is 2 seasons old and gets the tender when i'm away for a few days or if i've had an abundance of low rpm 'in town' riding (however 99% of my riding is freeway 7-8k rpm range)
battery toasted?
anyone have a step - by - step checklist to diagnose?
