2019 mp3 500
Over the last 6months it's had odd day of starting issue then riding it cuts out, I've rocked it side to side and restarted and no issues.

I put it down it to cold winter, however as weathers a bit warmer it starts but again odd occasion it refuses to. The volts displayed 12.6 idle and when started 14.2.

I put a pulse battery charger to repair 24hrs and once it completed I tested bike started instantly.

However i just tried to start this morning and the volt displayed shows "Low" although it started I turned off and tried again and it failed, then a few attempts again it started.

I checked the spark plugs they look ok to me.

How old is the battery? If it is 3 years old or more, then it is overdue for replacement

I think you need a new battery as it sounds as if it is not holding a charge
