About this service
A weak battery is the most common reason a bike will not start. We test the battery under load, check the charging system so a new battery is not drained by the same fault, and replace it if that is what the test shows.
Benefits
- Reliable starting
- The underlying charging fault found, not just the symptom
- Correct battery specification for your bike
What is included — and what is not
Knowing the boundary upfront is what makes an estimate meaningful. Anything outside this list is quoted separately and needs your approval.
What is included

- Charging system output check
- Parasitic drain check where a drain is suspected
- Battery replacement with an approved type where required
What is not included

Scope descriptions are indicative and may vary by bike model and service centre. Your estimate confirms exactly what will be done.

Battery questions
The things riders ask us most often about this service.
Often, but not always. A charging system fault can flatten a healthy battery, which is why we test both.
Centres follow the applicable disposal requirements for lead-acid batteries. Ask the centre for specifics when you book.
