Has anyone had this happen to them i have used a battery tender on my bike all winter long and now that i am riding every day i still use it but even after a long or short ride i put it back on the charger and it says its low and is charging but i would think it should be completely charged after riding am i wrong? or is my battery going tu? i have a 08 xb12s one and a half years old one more thing it seems to be running just fine am i freaking out over nothing?

I have an 07 and my battery has never touched a charger. Maybe its time for a new battery

Check your voltage when you get back from a good ride Before you put it on the charger. Compare to your Owner's manual. If it still seems good, run it by an Auto Parts store, they'll check it under load for free and tell you if it's on it's way out. [up]
