Speedy recovery
I guess the gremlins couldn't even hold out for a month.
I got the bike from a member here. He warned me that the battery had problems, he tried a tender, and it didn't work right. So he got another tender (Optimate3). When I test rode the bike it didn't start. He charged it with the tender for ten minutes and it started right up.
When I got it home, the next day it was dead again. So, I replaced the battery thinking it probably just wasn't recoverable.
Well, I went for a long ride today (260 miles). On my way home, while in stop and go traffic the engine light went on. I thought it was a temperature warning (it was over 90 and traffic was hardly moving) since every time I drove over 20 it shut off.
I get home, I tried to restart the bike a few minutes later and ..... nothing. Just clicking.. :rant:
The bike has the BD dual-light mod done, and nothing else. That is the only thing I can think of that might be causing me headaches.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Anyone with the BD light mod have problems with charging? Could the mod not be installed correctly and draining the battery? The clock stays on all the time, even with the key out, normal????????
Sorry, I'm frustrated...
