I made the mistake of putting batterys on a tender and leaving them in the garage last year. I had to replace 3 of the 4, it gets cold here in the winter and really messes up batterys.

was it the battery tender brand or something else? a float charger should have kept them good over the winter. if it was a trickle charger you have to babysit them.

If your battery is 4yrs old you should replace it regardless. Just don't get some cheap BS. Go to the HD dealer and get a nice AGM battery. Should run about $90-$100
Stay away from many other brands... Interstate are rebranded junk. YUASA blows nuts. I'll smack you if you got any auto store to get a fuckin tractor battery. |

Are you for real? I hope you mean for a HD specifically?? You are the first one that I have ever heard say anything bad about a Yuasa.  I just put a replacement Yuasa in my CBR from the Honda dealer, who might I add, was cheaper on them than anyone else and I get a wholesale discount through everyone else.

Nope on anything. I had a couple YUSAs on my rice and never thought they were worth a shit.

Note to self, Gas Man hates Yuasa's.
 Really though, I have never heard anyone say anything negative about them. It's always good to hear pro's and con's about anything though.

Gas has been shitting on Yuasa for years.
BTW...PROBLEM SOLVED! I dont know how or why...but it ran on Friday. I gave it some throttle and fired it up. Keep on the throttle long enough to keep it running...maybe 10 or 15 seconds...then it settled into it's normal idle. I let it warm up...snapped the throttle once...it hiccuped...then ran perfect. So I have no idea what the problem was or is. I didn't do anything but try to start it on Friday. I rode it about 12 miles...it was fine. I guess the real test comes when I try to start it next time.

I'd go with the seafoam next time you fill up... may be some sort of slight blockage in the lines, filter, or injector.
glad it's runn'n though |
