LOL...Thanks fellas!...Well, wenT to ride it,wouldnt ya know, freakin battery died.So, go to the parts store, they say its good!?..WTH! Come back put it on, fires right up.So I go for a quick spin around the block, get home,turn it off, it fires right back up. Hmmmmmmm
So leads to my next question,if starting the harleys and just letting them idle without riding them, does that drain the battery? Its been sitting for about a year or so.....
Oh, it a 98 dyna convertible

Draining the Battery
I've heard that if you start the bike, you need to ride it for 20 minutes to charge the battery back to where it was before you started it. I don't know if it's true but starting it does a pretty good drain on the battery.
