2011 Enfield 500 electric start

[Michael R1150GS Adventure]

Anyone had trouble with their battery yet?

Mines been laid up for the winter and I kept the battery in my garage (lead acid).
Charged it up yesterday for a few hours, just a click on the starter due to low power
Charging it up again today and no difference!

Do the lead acids take longer to charge??

Bike has done 1900 dry miles

any input gratefully received

Didn't you use the correct Can Bus charger over winter? ......

narr its not got a kick start

i've sussed it - the charger i use just needed a little longer (first time out of the box for this one)
it fired up last night - lovely - happy cat.

I now hate enfield electrics even more - why do manufacturers always have to cut every cable just a little bit too short for its intended purpose?
