[QUOTE="Calimus, post: 415132"] Ok, so the weather outside is pretty damn nice and the bike is seeing more mailes every day. However, I've found something a bit disturbing. Since my get off in August, I've had a hot start issue with the bike 3 times. It never did this before the accident. If the bike is at normal running temp, say 2 bars on the guage, I don't seem to have the issue and this is normally the case. However, if I'm stuck at a light long enough for the temp to hit 3 or 4 bars and it's like that when I shut off for refuel or whatever and fire back up. She fails to turn over strong, stops trying to start (almost like a flat battery) and it resets the LCD as far as trip and time. Usually turn the key off, back on and another wack at the start button meets with success. I've checked many of the electrical connections, everything looks clean and tight. The dealer did a nice job putting her back together. I'm thinking that maybe the battery was damaged a bit from the accident and then sitting in the shop for 3 months with nary a charge. Bike is an 05', original battery. Time for a new one or maybe I should check a few more things? [/QUOTE]
