[QUOTE="chrisz, post: 1438292, member: 91124"] mcatrophy, I reread the manual regarding the Park position, while I didn't specifically want to put the bike into the Park position I may have inadvertently done so. If in Park, I didn't see any lights being on, but perhaps there is still some current draw somewhere? The owner's manual states; "Do not use the Parking position for an extended time else the battery will discharge". Regarding the old battery which I now believe is original, seems to be keeping the charge. The terminals were heavily corroded which may be the root cause of No Start. I will put in the new, freshly charged battery on the bench and keep the old battery as a spare? 🔋 BTW, the Battery Tender I was using (cheap 750mA) will not maintain a battery any more, red light keep showing, I think it died over the last few days.
