Hey thanks for the info. My battery seems fine, it holds a charge, even if the bike is not started for a few weeks. The bike is due to go into the Honda Shop for a service shortly, so I'll ask them to check out the battery for me and replace if necessary.My $1.99 digital watch bought off of EBay and double-sided taped to the dash will have to do for a while longer )
So did mine, it would hold a charge for weeks at a time no problems, when i started the bike it would suck every bit of power out of the battery and the clock would reset, because i only ride the bike recreationally, it would charge over the next couple of hours i was riding, it wasn't until I made a few short trips stopping and starting the bike. when mine went in for the 1000km service i told honda about the issues and they "said" they tested the charging system and found no fault (thats probably because the charging system was fine).
