Battery Voltage

1997 M900

Battery is the Yusa , 11 months old, I also removed the butt connectors a few weeks back and replaced with crimped connections , slightly larger gauge wire

I had to put in an older battery (3 years old) the other morning as the battery went flat but bike is used daily, the battery should not be going flat

Testing with the older battery (3 years old)

Static Voltage is 12.90
Static Voltage with GPS Tracker is 12.86
Idle 13.81V

I expect we should see higher voltage at idle, 14+? I suspect the battery is not getting charged enough when driven?
