I've noticed this behavior a couple times after winter - riding in autumn was fine.
A couple times, when I switch ignition on and push starter button immediately (not waiting for dash to load and fuel pump finish priming), the bike starts and clock/tripometer resets themselves. It happened twice already this spring. Usually I wait for the bike to "boot" itself, but sometimes I simply forget . Overall bike starts fine with all lights/aux/phone charging switched on. The charging current is good in the range of 14.1V (idling) to 14.3-14.4 on revs.
What also happened during winter, after sitting for about 6-7 weeks, the battery gets drained (lowest was 8.5V). I charged it back with CTEK charger (it has battery testing built-in), and all was fine. It rides good, if it sits only for a week or so, then it starts no problem. I have the version with HISS (I guess it has some passive draining).
Are these symptoms of a battery going dead? I have no history on the battery age, as I purchased the bike last autumn.
And if yes - any experience with YTZ14S Yuasa vs. Varta? Yuasa is 2 times more expensive, is it also 2 times better?
Thanks in advance for your input.
