Can a battery get too weak to start after only 12 days of non use except for a quick 10 sec. start to move to from the driveway to garage?
I ask cause I just came back from a quick night ride. I haven’t been riding and was wired. Figured I was due a short ride before I went to bed. Anyway my bike wouldn’t start. It kept cranking but wouldn’t catch. I left it for about 10 seconds then tried it again and it finally turned over. They way it sounded when it turned over is like like it was almost at the brink of turning over then it just caught. Sorry I can’t explain it any better. Oh yeah…The bike is only 3 months old. That is why I am surprised. Should a battery tender be purchased in my near future? • If you have an alarm running 12 days may be enough to drain the system. The short run takes a chunk out of the stored power, the alarm drains a bit more and the battery won’t give any current. I doubt this should be the case. Turning but lack of spark is an ignition rather than battery problem. A flat battery will either click the starter relay and do nothing or turn the engine lethargically until it dies. Check the battery
