I never took the battery out. I disconnected the negative terminal to install the tender lead. I connected the plus side to the fuse box. my best guess is that it happened when the battery was low and I tried starting it, as there was other things going on on the display that I never saw before. Just thought that I could'nt be that special, That this has surely happened to others on this site. On a sideways note. This bike is the bomb. I have never witnessed a more perfect street bike. We are so lucky to have these bikes.
Thank You KTM
