Oh,I forgot to add. My bike and battery have been doing fine. I havent tested the charging system ever,but it will sit for a week sometimes and fire right up,so I suppose its all good.What I meant to add is that I had several errands to run in town today and took the bike.Parking is much easier that way! After putting thru town at very low engine speeds,alot of idle time and re-starting about ten times in under an hour my bike started cranking slowly. I ran my last errand in 3rd gear keeping the rpms around 3000 and it started fine after that.It was only about a 5 minute trip. I have heard alot of talk about these bikes needing some rpms to charge.I guess putting at 25mph in 5th gear doesn't do the trick. Just putting that out there for what it's worth.
