My bike didn't start so easily last week when I moved it from the shed to
put new tires on it. It normally starts real easy, even if it is freezing out, even
if I haven't ridden in a week or two. I don't want to go on the Oyster Run
or some other ride and end up broke down. I posted to the Tech Board about
it, and ended up taking my USA made Yuasa, which my records show I got
in 2011, over to be checked at Advance Auto Parts...
I kind of wonder, does their machine ever say "your battery is awesome, don't buy
a new one
"? ... I have my doubts...
Anywho... the interesting thing is the battery I bought... a lithium battery... it is
so light, it is like an empty plastic box, I think it might float. And it is small, it has
little lego legs to snap on until it is the right height, and a button to mash
that shows its condition... it has a longer warranty and more cranking amps
than a normal battery.
It will either be a great battery or I'll go up in flames like those new Boeing
Jets...
