I recently acquired a 1992 VN750. It starts up fine with a freshly charged battery, runs strong for about an hour, and then dies. At this point I have to take the battery out, take the bus home, and get a freshly charged battery. The bike starts up perfectly with the new battery and the the cycle repeats.
I'm not much of a biker; as a layman it appears to me that the engine is not charging the battery and the bike's lights etc. drain the battery.
What could be wrong? How do I identify the problem? I can poke around with a multimeter if someone points me in the right direction. I wish the electricals were as solid as the rest of the bike.
(Both my batteries are Yuosa MF, but that doesn't matter here)
