First off, would a tip-over or small crash affect the computer/charge system?
I had a an embarassing 'oopsie' recently where the left cylinder hit the ground and I slide about 5 feet.
I have a brand new battery, have had a Fuzebox since new, everything runs thru the box and is in switched mode.
Recently install a pair of PIAA 1100X 55W lights with a relay instead of going thru the Fuzebox and wiring + and - directly to the battery, but switched at the box.
Cold weather here but it's California cold.
I went to start it yesterday and it was kind of hard starting. It's never been hard starting. Took several RPMs to get up and running. Odd.
I'd had it on the hi-end trickle charger for the last 24 hours too.
So I go for a ride. I stop and talk to fellow about directions for 5 minutes with the kill switch off, but all the electronics are left on.
I go to leave and the bike does some odd starting things again, like low-ish battery, and the revs came up with the throttle shut.
I thought, man that is strange.
I ride a couple miles, stop for another 5 minutes, kill switched it, lights on.
Go to get back on...won't start, dead battery, 'click click'. The lights are still on, and bright...
Turned everything off and still no go. So I have to bump started it then off I went.
I rode about 50 miles home without a stop.
So, I get home, it starts fine like nothing ever happened...
I pull the battery, and take it down and have it tested, both by the shops tester and load tester.
It reads 450 amps, just fine.
I'm stuck...I'm wondering if the little get-off I had has something to do with all this. I know when I dumped my R11S the dealer reset the brain.
Not sure why or what that does.
Not sure where to start.
I have the Fuzebox.
V-1 radar detector
Freeway blaster horn with it's own relay
PIAA lights with relay
...everything is nicely wired.
GPS cradle.
I am all ears...
