One Cheek On The Seat!
Been having intermittent starting issues since I started riding this season. I replaced the original battery in November and had no issues when I put the bike away at the end of December. I do use grip heaters and had the battery on a tender during storage.
I ride to work everyday and after a day or two the battery could not start the engine without help from the charger first thing in the morning.
Today, after letting it sit for the past 3 days due to rain/snow and cold temps, I expected a no start, but instead she fired right up. I then rode ~25 miles with my heaters at 100% and stopped to refuel. A quick refuel as it was cold and she wouldn't start again! I push started to finish my ride to work.
I thought I had a bad battery (still under warranty) but this mornings behavior seems really odd.
What do you think? Where should I look first?
