My Optimate 4 is telling me that the battery has a short-circuited cell and that I should change the battery asap. I started the bike afterwards and it starts fine. Can the Optimate be wrong? Is it safe to/can I ride the bike to the dealer?
Do you know what might have caused this? The bike was bought in August 2008 and has ca. 1,000 miles on the clock. The battery was out of the bike during the winter months and was put on Optimate for 48 hours every 2-3 weeks. I re-installed the battery a couple of weeks ago and had a couple of 1 hour rides since then. A couple of times I had to press the starter button 2 or 3 times to start the bike and I have never had to do this before (not sure if related, but just in case...)
Thanks for any advice
