    Bad Battery Or?

    Bike has over 65k miles. Problem just appeared a few weeks ago. I'm also surprised that battery discharges at 13.8. I'll try some of the other suggestions. But winter is coming and I think I will ride without the moto lights until I can get to checking it out. Wish I could find a mechanic in the...

    Bad Battery Or?

    Thanks for the tips. Looks like I need to take the side panel off to get at the wire. From YouTube, it looks like the newer ones had easier access. Unfortunately, can't rely on the shop any more. I'm not as flexible as I used to be. I'll work something out.

    Bad Battery Or?

    This one is a real puzzle. Got the bike back from the dealer. They say the charging system is working correctly except the Cycle Gear battery is crap so installed a Yuasa. They also say the Moto Lites are too much of a load on the system. Odd as I've been using them on many bikes and had 65k...

    Bad Battery Or?

    Charge voltage with no load except engine and low beam 13.7 volts. Drops to 13.4 with Moto Lites (30W). Riding to the shop as I want to get it fixed while weather still good. In the middle of a big house remodel so no time to pursue further.

    Bad Battery Or?

    Have to take the battery out to load test it as there is almost no access to the positive terminal with the load tester. Trying some other tests first. Now suspect the alternator. Some other data points. Installed the new battery, put it on the tender, Removed tender and went for a ride (156...

    Bad Battery Or?

    Thought my battery was dead. Just get a buzzing sound when I tried to start. Replaced the battery after quite a hassle. (Another thread) Rode the bike 156 miles last Friday including four starts with no problem. Went to start the bike this morning to get a new rear tire. Same buzzing sound. ;-(...

    Battery change problems 2015 1300ES

    I may have pushed the pins in too far. Those two took a lot more force than usual. The panel is definitely solidly in place.

    Battery change problems 2015 1300ES

    Thanks for all the help. I did research on YouTube first but still had the interference problem. I think he, or another poster, mentioned it. I can't see four black screws, only the two attached to the other access panels. the puch pins did pop, the pins are well in, but could not get them...

    Battery change problems 2015 1300ES

    Trying to replace the battery on my 2015 ES. Access is the issue. Take off the battery cover panel but the dash panel fairing where the front of the battery access panel sits comes in too far. I managed to get the old battery out with lot of force and foul language but can't get the new battery...

    Lots of bikes for sale in the area. Many bikes have been listed for weeks or months. Have noticed much less bike traffic than past years (excluding Covid years). Few big groups and mostly single bikes. The economy? We've cut back a lot on non-essentials.

    Code 090?

    Odd that it only shows up after a long hard ride. The internet example had a lot of other problems that are not showing up on mine except, perhaps, the intermittent cruise control. Been busy and wont be able to ride until Friday so will see if there are any oddities when this happens. From...

    Code 090?

    When I come back from a ride and shut the bike down by putting the side stand down, A "090" appears in the lower part of the display instead of the usual info (trip, etc miles). What is that telling me? Finally back to riding after three years of "stuff". Will be back with some other questions...

    Well, no inquiries on Cycle Trader or Craigslist! Drop the price here to $5,500. Will do the same elsewhere. Sad to see it sitting there unwanted
