|  Question on battery charging
Feel free to flame me if this question has already been asked - I looked in my owner's manual and searched the forums. Here's the question - does my M50 give the battery a charge by starting and then letting it idle for 10+ minutes? The reason I ask is that this is what I have been doing since November. I crank her up about once a week and let it idle for 10+ minutes. It cranks right up every time and I assume it has been charging the battery. My bike is only about a year old though so it could just be a strong battery. A buddy of mine said that his Honda CBR doesn't begin charging until it hits 1800+ RPM's. He said that if he only cranks and let it idles, then the more he cranks it without riding will cause the battery to discharge.  |
