Battery problems
I put in a brand new battery last year. Seem to be strong all year with no problems. This winter, I had a lot of winter projects on the bike, and must have listened to the radio a little longer than I should have without the tender being on it. The battery was so low it wouldn't turn over the bike. So, I charged it up and while riding the volt meter pegs at around 1400 (2 o'clock). But it seems to turn over slower than it used to. So, I'm leaving it in the garage without the tender on it for a day or two to see if the battery goes down to the point where it won't turn over. Hopefully it's just a bad battery. It's got a 24 month warranty. Anyone else have any issues like this?

What mods did you do this winter that potentially could be causing the bike to not turn over as easy? I have similar issue, but last night after changing the map on my PCV, the bike seems to turn over easier, so something tells me it could be a tuning issue.

I did a lot of things to the bike. New bars and heat demons, new heavy duty clutch diaphragm, new amp. And other things like seat, and shocks. But all the engine work was done on the bike the year before. Bike runs great. I was also wondering if the amp was pulling volts while the bike was not on? I wouldn't think so, but hey never know.

If your amps not grounded properly it certainly would.

Is there a chance your tuner turned off the ACR?
My SEPST did it one time...

Maybe a dumb question but what is acr? And how would I know if that happened and how to turn it back on?
