    Well, I had a brain fart and left the key in the ON position for about 40 minutes. When I saw what I had done, I fired it up and ran it around to get some air moving over it. I was more worried about the stator than anything.
    So far, so good, say a prayer. I hate it when I do stuff like that.

    No worries, the only thing that might happen is you might kill the battery.

    I did this not too long ago. Thought I killed the battery since it wouldn't take a charge from my trickle charger. Took it into my local battery shop and they put it on the charger with crossed fingers. In the meantime, they located a replacement battery

    It was over $200.00

    Luckily, their charger got my old battery full of juice again.

    I felt like an idiot!

    $200.00 sounds awful high for a battery. Although I haven't had to get a battery for my V Star I have never paid more than $70.00 for a bike battery.

    I'd shop around before I paid $200 for a battery. the new AGM batteries are a bit on the expensive side, but shouldn't be quite that high.
