Woke up this morning & my bike wouldn't start. I know the PO had had some battery issues, but that was due to not riding, thus not charging. I just rode Friday, so I assumed she'd have enough juice today.
Anyway, I'm going to get a new battery & hopefully be right back on track. My question is how did he get the battery this wonky to begin with? He said the owner before him kept it on a tender 24/7 (except when moving). Could this have effected it's ability to hold a charge? Also, he leaves the tender connecting piece on the battery, poking out from under the tank. Is this standard, or could this be slowly draining it? I'm not much of an electrician but I'm curious.
I'll probably try to push start it and get a new battery tonight if I have time. Sucks that I wasn't quite sure how to do that this morning. Gonna have a street cleaning ticket when I get home. :banghead:
