Why is the 12-V battery on my Husqvarna FE 501s 2023 Motorcycle discharged?
If the 12-V battery of your Husqvarna Motorcycle is discharged, it could be because it is not being charged by the alternator. You should check the charging voltage and the stator winding of the alternator. Another possibility is an unwanted electrical power consumer, which can be identified by checking the open-circuit current.
