📝 Introduction

Nothing frustrates a rider more than a bike that won’t start.

Most of the time, the real culprit is the battery.

As a mechanic, spotting early signs of a weak battery not only saves your customer’s day but also builds trust in your garage.

Here are the 5 warning signs you should never ignore.

1️⃣ Hard Starting or No Start

Self-start doesn’t work in one go, needs 2-3 tries.

Battery can’t give enough cranking power.

Mechanics should check voltage → replace if below safe level.
