Default rocker fyi

if you remove the key with it in accessory after 9 days the battery will be completely dead.. lol

i normaly check to make sure the light for the licence plate is off when i leave the bike but i didnt this time. not sure why the accessory spot is there and wish you couldnt remove the key unless the bike is off. Anyway lesson learned and the battery was able to be recharged so no harm done.

9 days is pretty darn impressive. Glad you got it recharged and thanks for the info.

At least the bike was at home and not stuck in the middle of South Dakota!
