Some warm days in March and I'm ready to ride. Almost. Bike won't start, battery is dead. I charged it for a while on the trickle charger, it started. Next day, dead. So I charged it overnight, took the battery to AutoZone and O'Reilly's, they load tested and said it should be fine. So I'm keeping a close eye on the battery voltage for now.
If that's not all, now my thermostat aparently is sticking open, because the temp gage doesn't go up to full operating temp. So I got one ordered, and not looking forward to all of the disassembly needed to get to the thermostat. Radiator and fairing parts have to come off...yay. Will do that task in the near future.
On a lighter note (pun), I replaced my OEM headlight bulbs with Sylvania SilverStars, 9003 H4. I did the minor mod of clipping off two tabs so they will fit into the ST1300 headlight assy. All went well, and last night I discovered they were worth the $38. Very bright!
Also added a couple of LED pods to a fairing vent for some accent lighting.
