K, been having charging issues, or so i thought. Yesterday the bike was running really ragged, signals not blinking, etc, especially at idle. It came to the point i had to keep the engine running at 2000 rpm's at the lights. I charged the battery overnite and tried to start the bike, started with a bit of drag, then i noticed the positive wire was loose again. while trying to retighten it the positive cable came off the terminal and the bike instantly ran better, showed a healthy glow at the signals and the headlight. So i am figuring the battery is causing more of a drain than anything else. Battery is a 6 month old Wally World special, still under warranty but it is a prorated warranty so it is probably about used up. So am i correct in thinking the battery is shot. Who makes a decent battery for this bike that won't cost me an arm and a leg.
