Checking battery related electrics - 1150 and maybe other bikes too

[masehare]

Hi, my bike has been misbehaving in terms of starting in the morning. And yesterday afternoon the battery light glowed faint for a couple of km on my way back home. So the questions are:

- What's the best method of measuring alternator output? What voltages are correct?
- Lecap yesterday mentioned that a battery that takes long to charge is moeg. Correct?
- Anything else to "service" or check relating to the battery/alternator.

Cheers
