Interesting (read worrisome) experience today. Seven miles into a ride, I
downshifted for a sharp corner. When I re-engaged the engine, it died.
Coasted to the shoulder and hit the starter. Battery seemed weak. Started
on the third try. Rode back home with no problems, including a braking
downshift at the driveway. Shut bike off and then restarted. Battery
seemed weak. Took my other bike out for a five hour ride (Multiple bikes
is a good thing if SWMBO allows). When I got back, I thumbed the starter
on the SV and it sounded strong as ever.
I'm not much of a wrench. Any ideas why this happened?
Thanks
