Marc, good for you! I was just thinking about your boost point thread yesterday - hopped on my bike, rode a short distance to the store, parked it, and it took about 6-7 clicks of the starter button to get it to fire back up. I have NO DOUBT this bike is going to strand me somewhere soon, and am thinking of putting boost points on somewhere. My dealer recommended that I "plug the bike into a battery tender every day" which only pisses me off - it's not a Tesla for crying out loud

. For an "adventure bike" this is ridiculous - but glad to see your workaround - I can't imagine being way out in the sticks somewhere and not being able to start a bike that has a "dead" 7 month old battery.
