[QUOTE="Donal, post: 1359829, member: 20675"] I thought I had a problem with my battery tender (optimate) and while trying to eliminate possibilities I carried a series of starts/shut downs (to drain the battery). The charger anomaly went away, but....... Next time I went to use the bike it 'coughed' once and then went into the fast starter routine. I tried about 8 times with the throttle wide open but no luck. So, rather than flog the battery/starter with continued WFO starts, I lifted the tank and disconnected the fuel pump. On the next crank it fired almost straight away and then died away as the fuel stored in the rail depleted. I then reconnected the pump and gave a WFO crank and it started. [/QUOTE]
