2007 XB12Scg 400 Miles

Battery die after being parked for a day.

Dealer, Vallejo HD-Buell, replaced it under warranty. No out of pocket; no complaints.

Love my new bike. Put another 100 or so on it tonight. Headlights are real questionable especially the low beam.

Hm... my battery did the same thing, only it turned out to be my stator was grounded.

Dealer replaced stator/regulator/battery under warranty.

Just be cautious, and if it happens again, you might mention the charging system to them.

Make sure you don't turn your ignition to the accessory position, as your battery will die if you do this!

Good for you; the battery in my Uly died back in May/06.
The dealer said that Harley-Davidson/Buell would not cover it under warranty because the bike sat unridden too long without "maintenance."

The replacement cost me less than $50. At the time that wasn't worth the hassle to me to force the issue with H-D. So I just bought one.
