Ok ... maybe dumb question of the month but today I went out for a quick ride with the wife and at one point I pulled over to take a call. I had the ignition on but the motor off and the fans kicked in...
After a minute or two I shut the ignition and when we were ready to go I tried starting the bike and it tried to turn over but it started clicking after a few moments of the starter turning.
It did this a few times and it seemed like the battey while not dead was very low. Since we happened to be on a slight grade I easily bump started the bike.
Once we got home it started right up with no issue.
Can anyone confirm my assumption the fans drained the battery? Or do I have an issue to look into further?
thanks!
