Yesterday I went for a Sunday morning ride on the local back roads.
Mileage was about 90 just puttering around at 45-50 mph.
The bike was started three times during this time.
When I got home I hooked up the .75 amp Battery Tender Jr. and was surprised that it took 5 hours to get a solid green indication.
The bike was not hooked up before the ride so I am not sure of the exact state of charge when I left home.
Today I hooked up my meter to check the output of the alternator. Revving the engine to about 3000 rpm I got 14.6 volts.
The bike is a 2014 and was purchased new, the battery was presumably installed in late 2013 and of course prepped by the dealer. I haven't checked the specific gravity of the electrolyte yet but it is properly topped up.
Puzzled, in El Paso. Any thoughts.
