Level of battery charge

[Chuckk_imp]

The modern AGM batteries have decent shelf-life, however, there are likely light loads drawing it down - small stuff like the instrument clock - nothing big. But an electrical impairment/damage could draw it down faster.

Pulling the headlight fuse to allow more charge to a weak battery is functionally a good workaround. Even if you didn't, the CB cuts the power to the headlight upon engine start (I believe), so that is useful.

I probably had a clock on that bike too !! .. haha ..

Does California observe Daylight Savings?

I wish we didn't - a bit antiquated. BC province, I believe, stopped doing it recently.

I heard there was a mandatory evac in Ventura County, CA. Did that effect you Chuckk?

Yes, it's that silly clock changing time again :

Such a shame and heart breaking to see lovely CA homes going up in flames. I hope everyone is safe.

no, I was ok, thanks .. I did see the smoke and when I went for my beach walk, I could see little accumulated piles of ash carried by the wind..
