[QUOTE="Patriot, post: 855161, member: 17187"] I've got a near new battery that on a tender whenever the bike is in the garage. I've occassionally had this happen...it's only when the engine is hot, like if I stalled the bike or turned it off for just a few minutes to have a conversation or fetch something out of the trunk. And I think it's more prevalent if I'm not careful to stab the starter button until it starts. A couple of times, I half pay attention while standing on the left side of the bike, and push the button accidently sliding my thumb off before starting. Those times above, I have to stab the starter, hear it labor, and then it "grabs" and starts. Never left me stranded, but does increase the sincerity of my praying and there's a stabbing worry it'll happen on a trip or something and scares me every time. Also, it's a pain in the arsh to reset the clock, and my OCD kicks in as I obsess over the wrong time showing. And since I ride and tour a lot (26k in 2010), I figure I wear out my batteries faster than most, and do consider it a maintenance item. I replace them every third winter just because. Best of luck and personally, I'm a Westco Battery fan [/QUOTE]
