    Hey All, 

    Had issues getting the bike running this afternoon, then had it cut out on me twice on the way home (no one stopped to check everything was ok in the 38 degree heat!).
    Finally got it home and checked the error code, P0562 - Battery Voltage Low. My issue is the battery is only three weeks old, this is the first time I've had an issue with voltage. 
    Suggestions what I should be looking for now?
    Cheers

    Guessing your last battery went flat too? And was replaced with the new one.
    Did you check it wasnt your charging system rather then the battery?

    sorry to read about your problem.
    like has been said, could be regulator, if you run with a battery thats on way out. it makes regulator work very hard and get hot ( thats why they have those cooling fins ). I carry a simple lights voltage check. it has the volts number with a light beside it. hook up to battery and tell's you how many volt, then start up it shows if volts go up to indicate regulator working. like battery should have 12.5 volt, then with this hooked up and motor running volts should go up to about 13.5. with efi you need 11 volts or more to power ecu, or they can't run. a good idea is to keep battery on a tender while bike standing over night or when not useing. keeping battery at right volts takes wear off regulator. prob need to check alternator too if find need new regulator. good luck.
