So what do you guys think about the battery? I turned it off after seeing it started. After work I rode it home without issues. Do I need another one? Did it do damage being on that long?
Battery should be fine. Some dummy has left my key on at least 4 or 5 times in the past 7 years. Push or jump start, then put on the charger later if needed.
I'm still on the original stock 7 yr old battery, still works. Just refill with diH20 and charge every spring.
I turn off with the key to prevent such problems.
My procedure is: Stop, turn off key, stick key in gas cap so i'll see it, take off gloves&helmet, grab key and put in pocket.
