2012 Goldwing will not start????
I just bought a 2012 Goldwing 3 weeks ago. I went on 1st long 3 day trip. Everything ran great. After I returned home and bike sat for 1 day, it would not start. I connected it to trickle charger, where the light turned green after 5 minutes of charging. Should I remove the battery and have it tested?

this is one of those things that has happened to us all. You may have not intentionally flipped this switch, but it got flipped anyway. You now know to check this every time you start, as you'll never forget this red cheeked moment
