Careful with those Li batteries, and they don't like the cold either.

Careful how? It will be in an unheated but well sealed/dry garage this winter. I typically keep my bikes on a trickle charger and start them every 4-7 days and let them run for 5-10 mins (and take them for a spin around the block if it's not brutally cold).

The results are in. The terminals were all tight, both ends. The culprit? Bad battery. Had it tested and it was a goner. Replaced battery with new Lithium Ion battery. All good now.

Turns out it was just bizarre timing with adjusting the seat. Literally was good minute, dead the next.

Thanks for your help!

Here's one I hope you guys can help with. 

I just switched my seat height for the first time, went from high to low to try it out (bike is new to me). The bike has been running perfectly, but when I switched the seat and went to start it, it powered up fine and then totally died when I went to start it. All electronic systems dead. Nothing.

I put it on a charger and the battery reads full to the charger. When it's plugged in I can turn it on and just the ABS light comes on the dash, nothing else. 

I checked the fuses and they all look good. The bike ran perfectly yesterday too. Think this is a dead battery or possibly some short or blown fuse that I can see? Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi all,

Just joined. I recently bought a 2015 FJ-09. Found it in outstanding condition with only 2k miles on it. I immediately added another 800 miles to it the first weekend I owned it. I'm happy to be a part of the community and look forward to learning from you guys. Hopefully I can share some knowledge too. 

I've been riding since I was 19. I've owned Triumph's in the past. I currently have this FJ-09 and a 2012 Harley-Davidson Sportster XL1200C. I'm in the Chicago area and out riding whenever possible. 

Cheers!
