Battery problem?
 
Today I stopped at the supermarket after a very nice 2 hour ride and left the key in the "ON" position for about 4 minutes and when I tried to start the bike on IT WAS DEAD! had to start it going down hill using the clutch... after this I was albe to turn it back on w/o problems! Are this my battery's last days? if so, which battery should a I get to replace it and where do you guys think could I find a good price one? Thanks again! :cry:

It should have lasted longer than four minutes. Are you absolutely sure about the time.

If your sure have it tested. Battery Source stores will do this for free.

Maybe not. Mine is about 1-1/2 years old. I managed to run it down testing the turn signals. Couldn't have been on more than 5 minutese total. The battery is REALLY small. A thorough external charge and you probably will be OK............but as Badbob said.....

I suggest you get a sealed type like the original. Just gonna have to shop around.

Thanks for your prompt answer! I'm sure it was less than 5 minutes. I'll get it checked today! thanks again! :tup:

The Battery Tender extended the life of my cycles' batteries. It has paid for itself a couple times over.

I just kept it on the bike between rides. Sure start every time. Cheap battery insurance.
