| Battery Charge Retention ST3
Has anybody experienced flat battery problems with their ST3? The other day after leaving the bike unused for only a week the battery was too weak to turn over the engine.
Fortunately I have an accessible Optimate lead set up which enabled me to quickly recharge the flat battery without removing the fairing.
I beleive that part of the reason is down to the permanent headlight on switch, unlike the Multistrada which can be ridden from the off with the lights unlit and never had any battery problems.
Interestingly the instruction manual that came with the bike shows a diagram of a three position light switch(a la Multistrada) but this is not fitted to my bike. Instead it has an hazard light switch.
Is this because mine is an earlier or later built bike? |
