You might have.

The key locking mechanisms on M/C's are pretty hokey, and it's easy to turn the key right past "Off" into "Park". Quite a few members have done it before, and drained the battery. On mine, I could remove the key with the lights still on in the "Park" mode. If the battery charges, just chalk it up to that, and remember to double check whenever you turn the bike off.


Move that negative clamp around a bit until the needle/light on your charger indicates some activity. Sometimes, you just don't have a good connection.
