A couple of weeks ago I got a "Low Battery" notification. That surprised me because the Yuasa AGM battery is less than a year old. Bike started, I drove a bit and shut it off. A couple of hours later it started fine.
Today the bike gave the Low Battery warning again, but it fired up normally. However, it smelled briefly, yeah like something burned. Drove it around the block, shut it off and restarted. Smell was gone, all was OK. Drove 2-hours, parked it. A couple of hours later, it fired up fine. But a short time later, while driving, it lost all electrical power. Bike totally died while rolling down the road, just as I was pulling away from a traffic light. Coasted off the road, a couple of minutes later it started again and ran just fine.
Drove home (1.5 hours on the highway), no problem. But voltage reading on the dash randomly varied from 13.4 volts to 15.0 volts, most of the time between 14.1 and 14.4 volts. After shutting it off for 30 minutes, tried to start it again, got a "Low Battery" notification.
Bike is a 2019 with 21,500 miles on it. I sincerely hope this is just a faulty battery, would appreciate any insights.
