any ideas?
if the bike sits for 2 days or more it will not start. It will crank over until the battery runs dead. So then i push it over to the truck to jump it off and it will fire up as soon as i connect the leads and then hit the button. Not even a full turnover i mean as soon as i hit the button.
Once started and i ride it its fine the rest of the day, it will even start the next day without any problem.
Could the battery just be getting weak? not sure how long its been in the bike and ive had it 2 yrs.
i have already checked all the connections and they are now cleaned and tightened.

I plug mine into a Battery Tender anytime it sits for more than two days. Never fails to start and battery last years..
