Ok, So here it goes. I bought a used 2014 HD Road King. After a while I noticed new issues after a couple days as the bike was a little sluggish to start. But I ride almost every day either to work or home or most every errand I run around town. The bike almost never sits long enough until recently for me to notice an issue other than sluggish starts. I took a long trip and after home the bike had some indicator lights not work but it started. I took it to the dealer and they said it was a connection hub/clip and they had it fixed but when i went to pick up the bike It had a dead battery. The jumped it off but the next day it was dead again. I charged the battery and the bike started but I wasn't able to ride due to rain for a couple of days. When I was finally able to get on the bike the bike you guessed it dead again. Over 2 days the bike was dead. I took the battery to be tested at not 1 but 2 different places. 1st at O'reillys' then at local H.D. and it tested good. They did a diagnosis and stated that now my voltage regulator was bad so i bought a regulator and replaced it but as most things in my life things are not fixed that easily. You guessed it i charged bike and it started but in 2 days after waiting yup dead again. So back to the battery possibility for may have a bad cell so i get a battery and replace it. All works fine for roughly 2 weeks and now I'm back to square 1 with the bike having a voltage drop from 12.6v to 11.6,7,or 9 depending on how long it was sitting. Oh yeah the bike was bought 2 yrs old and had only 4k miles on it. It now since may has over 9k and well on it's way to 10k miles so my question is (EDIT) is going on here? Any suggestions welcome.
