KTM Electrical Issue
So, I'm reasonably sure now that my battery is not getting charged.
My last trick was to try using the kill switch on the right handle-bars, thinking that that would stop it from leaking electricity as it sat idle.
If I drive it every day, the alternator should be able to keep the battery charged up. But instead, on Friday, when I tried to start it, I got nothing. So, I put it on the trickle-charger and charged it up. Reinstalled the battery this morning (Monday 6/8/2015). I've started the bike 4 times today so far. Now, I'm going to go for a ride. I'll try to keep track of how many days/ how many times I start the bike before it fails on me again.
KTM = Keep Throwing Money.
Went for a ride today...tried to make it up to Chinn's Lake, but it's still snowed in. I started the bike 5 more times, so I'd say I started it for a total for 9 times today. Drove roughly 160 miles today.
Tuesday 6/9/15 - Today, I started the bike approximately 8 times. After work, I picked up some Asics Gels and a GoPro Hero 4 Black Edition. Then, stopped and talked to Ron Lewis and shot some pics of the baby elk and baby buffaloe. Then, I drove up to Rainbow Road off Fall River Road and then turned around and came back.
Wednesday 6/10/15 - Today, I started the bike countless times. I would guess about....10 times.
