Question

Went for a ride today but when i first started my bike the it hesitated then fired up. Battery has been on a tenderizer and it really hasn't been that cold. After I ride it for a while and stop it starts fine. Baffled maybe the tenderizer is not working properly. Any suggestions would be great.

it really helps to know the year and mileage of the bike. There can be several reasons the bike is doing this. Battery can be dying. even though it is 6 months old, it can still be going dead. Also a starter can be hanging up. My first guess is battery, take it out and have it checked. The alternator seems to be charging and the battery seems to be taking a charge from the alternator. Check the battery and check out the charger.
