Today, I had the radio and shock settings, previously saved in the presets, all had reset while getting ready to head out for a ride. The radio was off and on as well. I switched off the key to "reboot" everything on the bike but, nothing came to life with the key in the "on" position. Rotated the key back to off-on-acc-on and nothing. Went into the house to drop off my helmet and jacket and when I return all power was back on (I left the key in the "on" position). Not able to duplicate the problem after moving some wire bundles, I rode off and stopped for gas. Same thing occured there except it was a good minute before power came back. Rode the bike home (5miles) without an issue. Presets remained. Eventually, I could duplicate the problem. A link to a video is here. I was expecting to see the radio quit - it continued to play.
What do you guys make of the voltage swing as seen on the gage? A meter to the battery only recorded down to 12.4-12.5vdc.
I did clean the negative terminal and cable but that was before this video. Since then, I found the positive side had some white, fluffy powdery stuff. The battery is still out.
This happened previously and I suspected that Garmin plugged into the acc socket was the problem. Then, I plugged my Blackberry into the aux audio and suspected that too. Those may be incorrect suspicions.
