For the past week or so, when I go to start the ST1300, the battery has been weak and the clock, trip odometer, etc are getting reset. I charge the battery daily, and ride daily, but have also noticed that my connection to the battery tender, using a powerlet adapter has become iffy. Depending on the rotation of the connector, the red light flashes like there is no connection. If I do get it right, it charges to green every morning. I am not sure if the battery is on its last legs, if the powerlet has gone bad, if the battery tender has gone bad (not really charging), if there is some kind of drain on the battery, or if it's a problem with the starter. Many possibilities, but if there are some relatively simple checks anyone can suggest, I'd like to try to fix the problem or at least narrow it down if I have to take it to a shop. I can get my hands on a volt meter and enough tools to remove parts to check connections. Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
