I`m kind of afraid to take my 81 650 special on long trips because I`m just not sure if its charging properly all the time. All the tests say it is but then after I ride for a hour or so give or take and I put it on the tender it never says it has a full charge and even the 80 percent charged indicator light doesnt come on for while.
Think it could be charging than not charging or is this fluctuation normal for them?
I would hate to take it on a 200 mile ride then be stuck so I tend to stay pretty local.
I have it put away for the winter right now but after sitting for a couple of few months I went out and put the tender on it and the battery was over 80 percent (I just put it in last July).
I actually fired it up just to kind of double check and let it run a bit, I was suprised how much cranking power there was beings how it was only 22 degrees at the time. Actually fired up pretty quick.
