first crank the bike. (with battery charger if need be) then disconect the battery while its running. if the bike goes dead this means that the only thing feeding your spark plugs and coil is the juice from the battery and you have problem with the magneto most likely. if the bike remains running after you disconect the battery you should still check the voltage in the battery leads (the wires you disconected, not the battery) with a volt meter. if the system is "charging" it should give you better than 12 volts. these two things should tell you if you have to look further.

Why is your battery warning light in your 2002 Honda civic on?
When the battery light is on. That means your charging system isn't working. You should have your system check. It will drain your battery.
1983 Honda Shadow 750.the battery seems to drain when you run the bike long enough where the radiator fan is running. I have had the battery checked out and it's fine. What else should you check?
If the battery is slowly going down, it's probably the charging system. Batteries are only storage devices, and only store electrical energy that is created elsewhere, in this case, by the charging system. If your charging system is getting weak it might not be able to keep up with the radiator fan.

Just run a volt meter on the battery with the motor off, should have 12.4 or so. That means that the battery is good. Run up the engine to around 2500 to 3000 rpm, should have around 14 volts. If so, then all is well.
