Hi there, I have a 2012 monster 1100 evo with 14,600 miles and recently on the way back from a ride the bike just completely shutoff. I had it towed home and found out my battery was completely dead. I replaced my battery and the bike starts fine however how can I check too see if my alternator is working? The battery shows that it is producing between 14 and 14.1 volts when it is running however how can I check if the alternator is operating and charging the battery? I keep the battery on a tender when it is in the garage.
I'd say the alternator is charging if it's showing 14volts. Without the engine running mine shows about 12.5volts
