Title: battery que
Post by: WVdyhrd on August 13, 2010, 05:26:06 AM
Ok. So back to trouble-shooting.

I've got a 5-6yr old battery.

Dead on startup today. Jumper cables from a car got her going. Rode it home and it restarted twice before dying out completely again. Takes a jump charge but takes 30+min of riding to hold a charge to restart.

Once running everything seems fine. Proper gauge, light, etc function. Except now my check engine light is on. Only malfunction I can find is the lack of charge on my battery, but it did get enough from my commute home to start again.....

I've checked fuses, and wires, etc. with no negative findings.

Any ideas.

oh yea p.s. I did a 12min ECU reset, light is still on.

I actually got over 6 years out of my original battery,but in all honesty unless you have something like an Odyssey(non made for Tigers) then your really out on the gang plank and can get the drop at anytime,mine was still working fine when i took it off.
