[QUOTE="wfooshee, post: 857087, member: 6354"] Howie's got it right on by pointing out the grip heaters. Gen-I does not have a lot of excess charging current available. There is also a difference between restarting immediately and restarting after 5, 10, or even 30 minutes, as temperatures settle in the parked bike. Mine will fire like crazy except after a 10 minute shutdown on a hot day. After 15, it's good. 10, it'll crank slow, finally start, and I see the clock showing 1:00. My problem is my shortened ride to work since my office moved; it's only 3 miles to work, and if that's all I do, I don't even recover enough charge to make up for starting it up in the first place. So riding to work is not just straight there, but finding routes through traffic is a chore sometimes. [/QUOTE]
