Why won't the battery stay charged?

We have a 2012 Kawasaki Brute Force 750. The battery won't stay charged; we checked it, and it is good. The battery volts were 12.5 amps not running, and 12. running, so we tried a new rectifier, and there was no change. Any advice on what to do next? Kawasaki denies that they've had any problems with them. Thank you [email protected]

Quick answer is you need a new battery as you should have 13 to 14 volts when not running and this will drop to 12.5 volts when starting due to starting loads on the system,

Maybe the voltage rectifier has gone bad. I would try getting a new one.

I would say the voltage regulator is not working. Has an altenator wire been damaged?

Install new spark plugs and go easy on the throttle when starting. A power valve squirts extra gas every time the throttle is twisted. Twist too often when starting and the engine floods. Please rate my answer. Thanks!

2021 Kawasaki Brute 300. The speedometer not working but the display is good.

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to model category, 2021 or 2012 though?

Likely to be the vehicle speed sensor (VSS). Check the connections on it.

I have a 2005 brute force 750 won't start with electric start it will start when I pull start it will run.when it's running the lites and display are flickering .

Sounds like your battery is about dead... replace the battery and clean the connectors/wires/terminals.. and a little waterproof grease will stop the corrosion. Make sure the new connections are tight!
