It finally rained here yesterday. I rode in to work and it started an hour later nothing heavy just a light soaking rain and it only lasted a couple of hours at best. I get off work at five and the bikes been sitting for ten hours. Anyway I turn on the key and drop the choke a quarter hit the starter and it doesn't attempt to try and start. Naturally I'm the last to leave of all days so no one's there. I m,ake a few attempts to get her started without any luck and the battery is going south with every try. It teases me once or twice but no luck then the battery gives up the fight. I'm roughly 90 yards to my front door from my parking spot and the salvation of a battery charger. Theres a slight grade for the first half of the push and it's not in my favor here's when you really feel the weight of a 15. Half way and I almost give out
just about drop the damn thing to boot. Five minute rest and the battle begins 10 minutes 40 yards up a mild grade and finally on the down slope
3 minutes and I'm at the door hooking up the charger. All it took was five minutes to get enough charge to start and I was up and running. It's got me scratching my head as to what the issue is
. This did happen when I first got the 15 but it sat in a hard storm over night. Never any other problems with starting extreme heat to cold damp or misty mornings after long runs or short hops nothing at all. It plain hates rain and gets pissy at me for leaving it out. Any ideas the only way I can properly troubleshoot this problem is if the weather cooperates and gives me the same conditions. Tried using the water hose the first time it happened my bike must have thought I was playing and it did finally get it's bath after the experiment was over. At this point I think it was spite for leaving her in those conditions again......Women what can you do
