I took the battery to a dealership and they charged it and load tested it for me. They said it was good. I put it back on and the bike started right up. I tried a test lamp the way you described and could see no light at all. I rode it around for about 15 minutes and it gave me no problems. When I stopped I tried turning it off and cranking it a few time and it was a little sluggish but it started. I came back about 4 hours later and tried starting it again and it acted like it was trying to start but it didnt have enough juice to turn over. Could it be that even though the battery load tested ok right after they charged it it is still bad and I need to get a new one?
