My pride is wounded more than my bike
I laid my XL1200X 48 down friday night on a wet road. I'm ok, but bike is suffering from something electrial. When I picked my bike up it started on the second try and has been running great. But over the last week since I laid it down its been harder to crank. It sounds like it's the battery, but it's brand new. Not even a month old. Anybody have an idea what's wrong with it. I've read it could just be the battery, which is a sealed battery from drag specialty. Meaning that the fluid levels are shifted to one side from being laid down.

Dang, man... That freakin' sucks. I've only ever laid a bike over once when a jackass backed out in front of me. Luckily I was coming out of a turn and wasn't going fast. Just a couple small scatches.
