Battery Options?

Yeah, whatever.  We'll  see how your attitude check goes after 6 weeks without a heater after 35 years of 2+ packs a day....

Alright!!!! Give yerseff and 'attaboy' for me! I'm closin' in on 2 years, myself and don't miss it at all! :good:

Actually, I gave myself some Wilbers and Holeshot goodies. Any idea how much 2-3 packs of butts a day costs? Oh, and sorry fer the hijack. Back to batteries.

Yuasa may well be the leader in bike batteries but this month's MCN magazine mentioned (again) sudden failure associated with some of their batteries (some internal connection breaks and you're instantly screwed). May be rare but it'd suck if it was mine or yours. The WestCo maintenance-free is what I've used before and will again.

Yuasa lead acid batteries have always been known for SDS. Pull in for gas, everything fine. Go to start back up, everything tests fine then everything goes dead. Nothing. Sudden Death Syndrome.

Most folks I know, long ago went to even a Wal-Mart battery (again, lead acid) instead of sticking with Yuasa. They may not be any better, but you can buy 3 from Wally World for the price of one Yuasa at a Honda dealership.
