Had to ride to Mom's today, and after a gas stop (another slow crank to get going), did 56 miles at freeway speeds, 65-80 mph. Pulled into her driveway, shut off the bike to open the garage, thinking the long ride would give it a bit of a charge at least. Tried to start to pull into the garage and got half a crank, and click.
Don't have a volt meter down here, but I do have another charger. Going to leave her here on the charger and take the Enfield home. I'll order a new battery, and beeline it home without stopping next time I can.
That is all you get Gone - two warning cranks on the CB1100.
That is exactly my experience too.
Don't bother trying to revive the battery on the charger. It will let you down soon enough - of course, at the most inconvenient time like lane filtering between those two fueling trucks (one of them on fire, ... of course).
