Observations on the New F1

Now that the bike is finally in-hand, I have begun the process of sorting out and repairing what has been done to the F1 previously. I discover that the battery has the pigtail for a Battery Tender installed. Excellent! Unfortunately, I find that the previous owner had for some unknown reason cut the ring connectors off the pigtail and installed the bare wire under the battery terminal screws. Backwards. Now that the Tender is on the battery with the clamps, the battery has taken a charge nicely. Regardless, a new AGM battery is on its way.

The episode of the Tender Pigtails makes me very concerned for the overall health of the F1's critical systems.
