Hi all, I have a question.
The other day I did some grueling off road riding on a mountain road filled with large trenches, mud, bogs, steep climbs and downhills, and at one moment at a particular difficult patch my bike kinda stalled but I managed to keep it running from the inertion. I noticed that moment the clock ressetted itself. On the next stall I noticed the battery did not had enough power to start the engine.
This is when the pain started big time. Every time my bike stalled, I had to back track to a downhill section to start it by riding it in second gear. It was getting dark and me and my pals got stuck on the mountain till the early hours of the morning. What supposed to be 4h or track ended up 11 hours of a serious adventure in the mountain in the middle of the night.
I wonder how and why did my battery drained while the engine was working perfectly all the time. Where should I start looking for the problem?
Anyhow, the following morning my bike looked like this.
Thanks for all input.
