Maybe my battery had an internal short but the guy who load tested it said it had 9 volts with the load on it. I tested it with a volt meter and it had 12.4 volts.
Like I said earlier I could kick start the Q and it would idle but bog and die if I twisted the throttle even after warm up. |

barnone do you have a wiring diagram for your bike you could post on here?

I haven't had the chance to or needed to study the wiring doagram on my Q yet, but I have a Yamaha Rd400 and if the rear brake light burnt out the bike would not run until you replaced it. So who knows if there is an open circuit like a guage light or turn signal being out causing the problem

I can attest to what barnone is saying. I had to replace my battery also on my XF200. It's two years old. Of course, I don't know how long the battery sat in the bike before I bought it. Anyway, I put it back in this year to start and no go. It did the same as bar's when I kick started it. It would idle but bog when throttling. I didn't try it with the battery out, however. I wonder if that would make a difference. There is a wiring diagram in both the english version manual from Andrew and the portuguese one.

I'd be worried that running with no battery at all would take out the CDI.

Stumbled upon some more info. According to DrAtv, engines with a DC CDI must have a battery to generate spark, whereas the AC version can run without a battery. http://www.dratv.com/distty.html

I put many, many hours on my Hondoid with no battery at all connected in. Never gave me any trouble besides a sore instep.
Eventually got tired of kicking and bought a new battery. |
