[QUOTE="harfooz, post: 854941, member: 19060"] Went on a day trip to Aiken yesterday, and had some symptoms that got us both concerned about getting stranded. We were on the bike for about 90 minutes, and I ran the OEM grip heaters for the whole trip down. After stopping to ask for some directions to the restaurant (no wonder we couldn't find it -- it's in an alley), got back on the bike, and it was [I]really[/I] difficult to get it turned over. The LCD clock and trip odometer reset. Once the bike started, we just came straight back home. I didn't run the grip heaters. We didn't shut it down until getting home. After shutting it down, and trying to re-crank it, it fired right up, as though nothing had happened. The FJR is a 2005 year model with the original battery. I broke my tibia and fibula back in December, and had the bike on a battery tender for the first time for around 3 months, until last week, where I got to ride it to work again every day. I've got an OEM replacement battery on its way to me, but wanted to check with the forum to see if these symptoms sound consistent with a battery that is going dead. It seemed weird to me that it fired back up without a problem when we got home. Is there anything else that I need to check into for a problem? Thanks, 'fooz [/QUOTE]
