Default Battery Light

About 7 years ago, when I first started using a tender, I would get a red battery light when I first started the bike. It only lasts for a few seconds and then will go off. It still happens to his day and the stator is charging 14.7 volts. New batteries haven't changed the process so I just ignore it and ride on.
Don't fix it till it is broken...

I had the same thing happen. My indie told me to disconnect the battery for a couple minutes and reconnect it. Problem solved. IIRC, disconnecting the battery will reboot the ECM.

Air cooled engines respond to the cold dense air with more power. Unless you have taken the Harley out in the teens to twenties temperature you will never experience the full power of the motor. It is awesome.

In the winter my 96's and 103's think that they are 120R's!
