I've had my CB1100 for just over 5 years now. I primarily used it to commute to work. I've been working from home for some months now, and only take short rides(~10 mins) on the weekends.
The bike hesitated to start last weekend - but did start. It did not start today and the clock was reset. I charged the battery(took less than an hour) - and the bike started and I took it for a short ride.
The questions I have are...
1. Are my short rides causing the battery to lose charge?
2. If the answer to question 1 is yes - would I see the same behavior if I put in a new battery?
I do not know when my work situation will change - so am wondering whether I should get a new battery or just charge/tend the old one.
