How do I know if my motorcycle needs a new battery

Sure! Here are four different responses you could use:

"Well, if your bike is having trouble starting up or the lights are dim, that’s usually a sign the battery might be on its last legs. Also, if you’ve had it for a few years, it might just be time for a replacement."

[KarlaMurillo]

"If you notice your motorcycle cranking slowly or not starting at all, it’s a good indicator the battery is weak. You can also check for any corroded terminals or a swollen battery case – those are pretty clear signs you need a new one."

[LauraCuevas]

"You can tell your battery's in trouble if you’re jump-starting it more often than not. And if you’ve got a multimeter, testing the voltage can help too; anything below 12.4 volts usually means it’s time to shop for a new battery."
