Sounds like your battery has some 5 and a half shorted cells................Originally posted by mjpxs11sh View Post81H Venturer1100 "The Bentley" (on steroids) 97 Yamaha YZ250(age reducer) 92 Honda ST1100 "Twisty"(touring rocket) Age is relative to the number of seconds counted 'airing' out an 85ft. table-top.Comment

I read it, but looked like you had already figured it out.

Don't feel to bad. The other day I went to start my XS11 and it started stumbling and missing all over the place. More I ran it the worse it got. I was convinced I was pulling carbs or coils or something.
Left to go to the store, on the way back it hit me. Got home, turned the petcocks to Reserve and away she ran!!! I had about 100 or so miles on the odometer.
