I just replaced my battery this morning with a new one that was on a brand new tender overnight (green light). After install the bike starts great. I then hooked the pigtail up to the tender and the led has been yellow since this morning. Iv'e changed the pigtail, tender and also clipped the tender directly to the battery with no change in status.

I'm curious what the problem could be as I don't want to let the new battery drain down low.

I appreciate any suggestions.

I've also checked the fuses both on the main board and the inline on positive battery connection. I'm thinking maybe a ground issue somewhere any thoughts?
 
I would think if it were a ground issue it would also have a starting problem.what battery did you put in? Maybe a bad cell?
 
Brand new Harley Battery and tender bought Friday. The battery showed fully charged before install. A short ride after install and I plugged in new tender and it hasn't changed from yellow in almost 24 hrs. I'm gonna go up to dealer today. I don't want to leave as is and let the new battery drain if there is a ground or electrical issue.

I'd appreciate any additional thoughts.

Seems weird it won't fully charge. The one thing we never check is the power source to the charger so you may have a problem there. Or you got a bad battery that checked out fine then got used and the bad cell showed up.
