2013 Street Glide that has been sitting for about 2 months while I was overseas. Went to start her up the other day and i had to jump it off. After it started, every time I would give it a little throttle the radio would cutoff and start back after I released. Then as it ran longer the bikle eventually shut down and wouldnt restart. I had this issue with my last bike and it turned out to just be the battery. Just wanted any experience out there if it could be something
else.
Bought new battery last year. and I had it on a tender until about 2 months ago. took it off for a ride and didn't hook it back up. And I thought it was probable the battery, but it never hurts to ask.
Could Be. Jumped it with a Jump Box and not a vehicle. I had a FatBoy that did a similar thing and the battery fixed it. Just trying to make sure I get it squared away. I appreciate it.
