- February 21, 2010, 21:01:23 PMMy experience has been the battery can be good enough to turn over and even start the engine but for my 1500 to run properly it has to have a full charge at least 12.6 VDC. anything less than that and it will start but flood out when you give it gas.

- February 08, 2010, 12:40:21 PMEthanol in our gas can also be a real problem. Ethanol is a powerful solvent. They say and rust or gunk in your tank can get disolved and get into filters, clogging them up. It will also absorb water that would otherwise usually stay in the bottom of your tank. Maybe check fuel filter.

1. Fully charge the battery
2. If you can get it started run some fuel treatment/injector cleaner through it.
3. Properly prepare the bike for an extended downtime!
Cheers.
