arcing issue on battery
#11
Looks very familiar except mine was on the negative side. The post melted like Oprah's knees at a free Krispy Kreme giveaway. I had to end up buying a new battery and I loctited the bolts and it never came loose again.
I just bought a new battery again last Tuesday and on Friday I found out the negative cable was loose again when I saw a wisp of smoke come up from the post after the bike refused to start. Put a little burn on the post but luckily I caught it before itdid anymore damage. I took my tender leads off the battery too. If I need to hook it up I'll just use the alligator clips on it after taking the battery cover off.

I agree with Iceman on this. You did say that THE DEALER installed the battery tender cables, and since they installed it incorrectly then they shoul be the ones to replace the battery and cable. No one wants to be without their ride but if it were me I would contact the dealer and tell them what you found just to see what they will do to assist you. Talk to the service manager and the owner
