03 chopper start problem?

[KJW]

My 03 started then i went about 4 miles I shut it off.
It then would not start I was getting a red light on the batt.
when I hit the start switch. Started to push the sucker home
got to a hill took a rest thought I would try it again and it started ..
Put it on my battery tender at home it charged for a
time now it shows it is charged. It has not been on the tender for a while and I have not had the chance to ride it... is my battery going south?

very good possibility. how old is the battery?

Best thing to do is put it on the tender and get it charged then check the volts. Leave it off the tender for an hour or so then check the volts again, if it drops quite a bit then the battery is toast (not holing a charge).

You might also want to check your charging system. Start the bike and put an ohm meter on the positive and negative terminals while it's running make sure your system is charging the battery while it's running...:2thumbs:
