Bike shut down while cranking, lost memory

[koko64]

Li batteries require their own chargers and live a full Volt higher to be healthy than regular batteries . They can be destroyed by regular chargers, sometimes dangerously so. I have had good service from Shorai batteries using a Shorai charger. Using the search function here will bring up some useful information on Li batteries and the pros and cons of using them and their different service requirements.

I have this same issue that Charlie was posting about. Its a dying battery. Usually its an SW008 error and the gauge cluster resets.

I have a shorai battery that's on its death bed. It's been operating flawlessly since May 2011. Considering its almost January 2017, I cant complain.

That said, its still cranks but I've put a lot of load on the system at start. I have a powercommander with the autotune dual channel unit that warms up the (2) O2 sensors before startup.

I've decided to put up with the issue for the last two months. It seems like cold winter weather makes it worse and I wholeheartedly expect that the bike will respond better once the autotune unit is removed.
