My bro has a 00 xplorer 250. If we go out for a run over a couple hours his batt will run down. the dealer told him that if he kept it in awd for any amount of time it could kill his batt...also he has hand warmers which he thinks might kill it. Would this be true? I beleive they are factory hand warmers...not sure though! ANy thoughts??? The bike will still run, but hte starter wont work..you have to pull it to start it and you can tell at idle his light is dimm, until he gives it gas, then it will brighten up!
