Title: Dead battery?
Post by: bates68 on May 25, 2005, 08:35:14 AM
Hopped on the GS this morning and went to start it.  Nothing :( .  Looks like I left the key on overnight. :?  I jumped it off of my truck and rode 30 minutes to work.  Shut it off at work and it fired back up.

My question is this.....did riding to work charge the battery back up?  Or should I put the bike on a charger and charge it back up? :dunno:

Thanks
Bates

I don't mean state the obvious but if it cranked your battery is probably in the acceptable range :)

Be careful not to run it down again, repeated stresses on the batt. ain't good for 'em.
