Trying fix 1 problem, created another
Filled up tonight in anticipation of taking my bike to work for the first time this year (finally warm enough)...went to reset the trip odometer...nothing..push the little thingy in...nothing..ok ride the 2 miles home and decide to fiddle with it there...I guess the battery drain real quick on these bikes no? I had the highs on for like 4 minutes without the bike running...(didn't notice actually), finally get the odometer to reset and decide to go out for 1 last night ride....whrrrr whrrrr...click &^%$*)
Killed my battery [&:] Should it drain that quickly???
On another note, has anyone has issues with resetting the miles and if so what was the fix?

I have a 1 year old battery and have accidentally drained it twice tihs year. I picked up a Battery Tender Jr, and it has leads that you can hook upt o the battery then run the other end somewhere. I ran it to my trunk. When I get home I pop my trunk and plug it in. It's really easy, it's about $30, and I have not had ANY problems since.

Mines drains rather quick too, being maybe because of hids. But i've accidentilly left the lowbeams on for about 10-15 minutes and the bike wouldnt start. Luckily i was at a gas station :P

The Battery Tender is a great thing though. I just ordereda BatteryMinder (just like the battery tender jr. plus a desulphantor) and its worked out great so far.
