Consumer Description

I RECENTLY MOVED TO A NEW CITY AND THE CHARGING SYSTEM FAILED ON MY FIRST RIDE THERE (30 MILES). I NOTICED THAT THE BATTERY LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD COME ON APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES FROM THE HOUSE. BATTERY VOLTAGE HAD DROPPED FROM THE NORMAL 13.5-14.3 RANGE TO 11.1 AND WAS DROPPING FAST. THERE WAS NO WARNING THAT THIS WOULD OCCUR. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND REMOVE THE HEADLIGHT FUSE IN AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE IT BACK TO THE HOUSE. REMOVAL OF THE FUSE GREATLY DECREASED THE RATE AT WHICH THE BATTERY DISCHARGED. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT 9.5 OF THE 10 MILES BACK BEFORE THE ENGINE DIED AND HAD TO PUSH THE MOTORCYCLE THE REMAINING DISTANCE. *TR
