hey everyone,
a question for people more familiar with these bikes than I am. My battery keeps getting drained every two weeks or so even though the charging system is fully functional. It's an AGM-style battery that I just picked up in the fall so in theory it should be able to hold a charge. However, I personally suspect it's how I've been riding the bike that's draining the battery, and that's what I wanted to ask you guys. I live about a half mile from my school and take the bike back and forth a lot without going on longer, more sustained rides. Could that be enough (starting up, quick ride, starting up, quick ride, etc.) to keep the battery from charging?
If not, how can I test the battery to see if it's holding a charge?
