Yup, sounds just about like the old Trumpet problem they've been having
since the T3s.
My T595 is like that, a new battery every year. When it starts to get cool
overnight it nearly always fails to start the next morning (gotta jump-start
it from a Suzuki GS500e, serious embarrassment potential there...). I simply
don't believe that 4 batteries from different manufacturers can all be duff.
It must be something with the bike but  my dealer can't find anything wrong.

Tim.
