Battery charging

[virginiajim]

The voltage display on the dash was in the classic C14.  That can give you an idea on what's going on, however it doesn't tell you if somethings going on with the battery.  And as I'm speaking of batteries, make sure the connections are tight.  I've found over the years that lead type terminals on the battery tend to loosen over time.  Those that have other than lead tend to not.  This bike and most newer ones these days are very susceptible to voltage fluctuations.  It doesn't have to be very loose at all to cause problems and even if they are tight, invisible corrosion can develop so it's not a bad idea to clean them up with a wire brush or the like once a year. 

If your battery is AGM or Lithium, use a charger if you are so inclined, that states it's AGM or Lithium capable.  One can ruin a good battery with the wrong type of charger.
