Re: groan, whinge ... more battery problems

[Erik Miner <axeis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Me thinks you need to get the dealer to look at this bike. There is 
no doubt in my (small) mind that the battery is not charging 
properly, not that the battery is bad. I'd have to blame the 
alternator or something else in the charging system.
