I was going through batteries every year for about three years before I came to to the conclusion that my rectifier was shot. It's pricey but so is a new battery. Just something to think about.--

That only checks the charging system.

At 3000 rpm, you should be getting between 14 and 15v.

If the voltage is a lot higher than 15v you have a bad rectifier, or the wires are loose, open etc.

If the voltage is a lot lower, you either have a bad rectifier or a load problem on the alternator.

I'd say 12.9v is a lot lower than you should be getting. 13.5 would be marginal at best.

Any bike shop should be able to check the charging system for you.

Personally, I'd start by changing the battery. Then testing the charging system. If not between 14 and 14v, I'd change out the rectifier as well. Its simply not worth getting stuck someplace.

Cheers.

I had the same problem... I think... I had not used my bike since January 09.. I wanted to ride this weekend but the bike would not start. The battery was dead and I had it replaced. You would think that would be it but no. After installing the new battery the bike still would not turn over. After removing the tank and thinking it was the gas pump not working or the injectors being clogged. I gave up. came back the next day took a look at it again. Looks like I had the sensor disconnected the one the bolts right under the battery bracket. Sure enough the minute  i bolted that back up the bike started up. I hope that helps.. maybe you forgot to bolt the sensor back on.

we looked battery and charging system and got some consequences....
first the full battery(13.7 V) install to motor...then start the engine with idle speed...we linked our multimeter to battery..(+ to + and - to -)..and it showed 13.5V to 13,6...some times 12.9 V then i turned to throttle to 3000-5000 RPM and it didnt change any result..(i mean it showed same numbers...) is that wrong?.....should it  be change turn throttle 3000-5000 rpm?....by the way i remove the alternator three cables commination's and  it leaked (the oil) to my hand..is it normal...(i mean the connection to get full the oil...)...
then we look carrefully to oil indicator window and it looked under low line...which oil do you recommend to me?(10w / 40 ok,but which mark?)

An 18 is better if it'll fit.  It'll be a tight fit though.
