Hey guys new to the site and this is my first post...
this doesn't happen often but it has happened twice since I got my bike in September, when I try to start the bike it doesn't turn over, there's gas in the tank but I think it's my battery. Just recently it happened again and it was as if my battery was disconnected because my clock was reset. Also I don't know if it's related but my I run with my highbeams on and sometimes they cut out as I'm driving. Any suggestions?

I had the same problem....had to buy a new battery. I also run with high beams all the time....just be sure to turn high beams off b4 cutting your bike off....they drain a lot of juice when you are tryin to start it again.

Look into getting an oddessey drycell battery(maintenance free). chances are you will never buy a battery again. I bought one for my sea-doo 100 bucks and love it. i know some guys that had em for 8 years and still going strong.
