Just bought an 08' ST and the battery lasted about 1 hour.
I bought the bike last week 1/15/10 and when I went to the dealer to pick it up he said the battery had died. While I was signing the papers for the bike they were installing a new battery. I thought, cool a brand new battery for my new ride, no problem.
After the hour and a half ride home I pulled into my driveway, shut the bike down and went to open the garage door. I got back on the bike and tried to start it and it was dead, I then had to push my brand new 730 pound bike up hill into my garage. (just glad no one was around to see this)
I installed the pigtail for my battery tender and left it on for a few hours and the bike started, but it's still not right. After making some local runs to some shops and the gas station the bike just barely starts. It sounds like an old car in cold weather. When it gets to this point (after three stops) and it does start, all the dash info and the clock reset. Clock goes to 1:00am, fuel mpg, miles to empty and so forth are gone.
Any ideas on what to do or check before I take it back to the dealer?
