Author Message   Snackbar64 Posted on Saturday, October 22, 2011 - 01:11 pm:        Hey guys I just trailered the bike across country and it was cold the whole way across. I feared this so it is no surprise to me when I got the bike off the truck it was sluggish to start. The LCD screen does not light up as the bike is being started but turns its usual bright orange once started. The bike seems to be holding voltage at a 13.5 to 14.0 yet remains sluggish to start with the same no lighting of the LCD screen until started. I now have it on a tender, but the bike was on a tender prior to loading it. Do I just have a dying battery? Any ideas?   Samg Posted on Saturday, October 22, 2011 - 02:32 pm:        Sounds like a battery.. Perform a load test on it..hook up a volt meter to the battery..while cranking voltage should stay above 10.5 volts....or if you can,find a battery tester   C818919 Posted on Saturday, November 12, 2011 - 11:53 am:        its you voltage regulator.....up grade with http://roadstercycle.com/Shindengen%20FH012AA%20Re gulator%20upgrade%20kit.htm
