Dead bike. 2 Years, 3 Months ago

Ok so if you notice when you turn your bike on the lights are dim, i would not try to ride. I noticed it yesterday on my way home, got about 3/4 of the way and boom, dead bike at the bottom of the hill. It was a dead battery that would not hold or take a charge. Just a warning so you guys dont have to push your RS up a hill. Good part was i was able to coast from the top to my driveway.

changed the battery and its all better now. The warning is out, if you think your battery is low you will not make it home. Take an extra 10 min and change your battery.
