Went back around 6:30 Saturday to try to get the bike home.

Put the battery in, and it started right up.

Started it a few time Sunday but didn't ride, no problems.

Rode it to work today and at lunch, so far no problems.

The only thing I can think is when I put the new battery on I didn't tighten the connections enough. I didn't really mentally note their tightness, but I feel like they were tight. When I reinstalled it the 2nd time I noted how tight it was and was sure to get it as tight as physically possible.

I'll update if I have any more issues.

Thanks again for advice and suggestions.
