749 wont start
So I woke up this morning to my breake light being on with the key out and the ignition on Lock.
So I stuck my key in the bike and turned it on. Voltage reading was 10.9 then I tried to start it no go...
After removing the key again my breake light went off..
Im guessing this happened because I was caught in the stupid rain storm....
Currently I left the bike on a battery tender to see if it will charge up this afternoon...
Feedback?

Not trying to insult you, just throwing it out there because I've made this mistake too. Are you sure it was in Lock and not Park? They're very close together and it would be very hard to tell on a quick glance which position it was in. Just a thought

Being a victim of the same thing. Really easy to get in a hurry and accidentally move the key one to many clicks from lock to park.

The lock is useless to keep thieves away (as more often than not they just pick the bike up and throw it in a van)
The parking light is just kinda dumb.
Both are pretty useless.

It is some or other compliance requirement in some countries.
The idea being when you park your bike out on the sidewalk the little light is on to warn motorists that there is a 300 pound piece of inertia that may wreck their hood ornaments.
