If your battery is charging perfectly but your motorcycle still seems to. Checked the voltage at the battery while bike running it reads whatever the battery charge is. Battery takes a charge from battery charger and holds the charge.
Which means you should charge your battery overnight and then let it sit for a couple hours.
