Tried starting my R last month after the battery went down to about 70%. I thought that would sill be enough to get it to kick over but no luck. To make things worse I think I flooded it.

Its about 60 in Ohio now and I kinda want to go for a ride any ideas?

charge the battery...

do the plug self clean...

This is achieved by opening the throttle to wide open, setting the Run/Stop switch to Run then, turning the ignition switch ON. This will fire the spark plugs for approximately 4 seconds, burning any fuel left over in the combustion chamber. It may be necessary to repeat this procedure several times to allow a severely flooded engine to start. NOTE: Motorcycle should be in Neutral.

And fuel injected bikes hate low voltage and will not run well on it,may have been part ofthe problem.

It was the battery was up to 100% and dropped to 35% after a few tries at starting it.

Sucks that its less than a year old.
